Do you bite your thumb at [i]me[/i], sir?


54 out of 60 right (90%) I'm a social science major. Disciplines tend to overlap. I've had more econ than I care for.

Not too bad, given that I'm not American or a fan of economics. :)[/quote]


Same score as me. And though I am technically American, my ancestors came from Portugal. Except for those who came from England and the ones that have been here since the Revolution... Okay, I'm just stupid. :topsy:

I took that the other day and got 55% - history is just not my thing - I did far better with the economics questions.

So, I read the following posts in order, not paying attention to the quote that HSMom had in hers:

[quote name='knightec' post='1390005' date='Sep 21 2007, 03:32 PM']Didn't you fight in the war of 1812?[/quote]


[quote name='homeschoolmom' post='1390037' date='Sep 21 2007, 03:49 PM']Me too....[/quote]


It struck me as funny. :hehehe:







:mellow: Sorry, HSMom...

You can take the quiz as often as you like, however, your score will only count once toward the monthly average.

And I didn't even have to take Constitutional Law! Just had to be a history buff. :cowboy:

:rain:[/quote]
yeah ... I wouldn't have known many things were it not for con law, being as I'm not a history buff or all that interested in economics ... :mellow:

:yahoo: :nerd:

i'll be honest, i love this stuff. my degree is in international studies, concentration latin america so the econ/political system questions were easy.


i also took AP US History and Government, love US History and teach it.

[quote]Question #24 - D. A political system where state and national governments share power.[/quote]
out of the two i got wrong, the first one i should have gotten right because i had the right answer and second guessed myself. <_< i KNOW what federalism is, duh :rolleyes:



[quote]Question #58 - B. An increase in the volume of commercial bank loans.[/quote]
other one, i can remember Prof. Fratantono speaking about the Fed's buying and selling power and its effect on the market, but the words are a little fuzzy, so i just guessed. but i know why the answer is the right one. man i loved that class (Global Economics). SO much fun. SUPER :nerd:

today was a frustrating day, so can i just say this made my nite? :D super fun, thanks for the link!! ^_^
