Beat the monkey...

...in geography, history, science/tech, and trivia. (Well, what did you think?) Nicked from astrogirl2's blog, maximumverbosit.

Your Final Quiz Score: 38 right out of a possible 60
The Monkey's Final Score: 18 right out of 60

You asserted your intellectual superiority brilliantly! The monkey is now left contemplating his own inferiority. Where others have failed to claim the mantel of unequivocal dominance over lesser species, you have truly succeeded! Congratulations on besting the ape and reaffirming the capabilities of the human mind. You have done humankind proud.

You scored in the 90th percentile.
(90% of quiz takers scored worse than you)

Geography Your score: 13 Monkey's score: 6 -- Quite a sufficient job.	History Your score: 9 Monkey's score: 3 -- Not too bad.
Science/Technology Your score: 9 Monkey's score: 5 -- Well done.	Random Trivia Your score: 7 Monkey's score: 4 -- Good but not great.

Not bad over all, but I think I ought to have done better in science. :-(

I got through the first screen of this... and then dropped it like a rock.

You see, one of the questions was "what Canadian Province has the tallest mountain?" and one of the answers provided was "The Yukon teritory" Well, I know that that IS where the tallest mountain in Canada is, but I thought "aha, trick question, it's a territory not a province, they even say so by calling it by its full name." So I pick the province where the next tallest mountain is, Alberta.

And get it wrong. Because they WERE looking for The Yukon. Even though they CALL it a territory.

If the people who write the quiz can't be bothered to properly know and make clear the difference between a province and a territory, I can't be bothered with their quiz.

*elitist Canadian* ;)
