The Dow was easy. The chairman of the Democratic Party was a pure guess....

11 out of 12. 91%
I missed the Dow Jones question as well.
The one thing I found sad, while looking at the averages of all that have taken this test is, that the Oprah Windbag question, had the highest percentage of people getting it right, out of all the questions, at 84%.

MIssed the casualty one too. 91%. Allot of people have taken that thing and the highest average is in the 60's. Sad. They should have a military category. No, on second thought.
