I only got 17.3% higher than average

asking about contemporary models of Japanese cars when I've been in Korea since 2002 is a stretch (almost none here, never hear about them)

which rapper sings...? don't listen to rap, ain't around it

don't drink beer, have no idea what that beer brand's bottle looks like or where it's from

I got 59.3% (29) better than most, but it's an American biased test, so those were most of the answers I was not sure on.

Yay! 45.3 % smarter.
Definitely aimed at a certain audience though...I mean, I got ones my mom would have failed, but she's WAY smarter than me.

How do they classify an average person?

Reminds me of the game, "Are you smarter than a 4th-grader?"

I think it says at the bottom, they take the average from the latest 10 000 people to play the game...or maybe it was a daily average...I can't remember, I didn't read it carefully.

I found the test quite simple. Got 43.6% higher than average. I've always been a general knowledge "whizz".

Out of the 28 questions, the only 2 I weren't 100% sure of were the "which rapper sings..." "Who makes this model car". I guessed and on those and got 1 right Very Happy
/end gloat

That being said, alot of the questions were trick questions that I'm pretty sure with a bit more time and thinking people would get right (e.g. WW2 president, alphabet, change from $10,)

I did 64.8% better than average, but like someone said above, the questions were a little American Biased.

31.4%

Some of those questions were region specific...

I didn't have a clue about the rap question, or the questions about irrelevant stuff that happened before I was born (Elvis etc).
