I got 4/10.

I got 5/10, which I think means I'm sometimes a luckier guesser than you.
Most of the actual questions weren't really news items, they were tiny details in news items. For example, the one about the candidates for mayor of London, and which day (back in April) one of them announced his candidacy... let's be serious here.

Oh man. As a small-town Canadian, I'd be hard pressed to care that London has a mayor, let alone who's running for it.

Edit: Heh, scored a 6, though.

Than me too. But; I swear I was dead on with the north-south cows. Drat.

Yep, me too. There were a few I actually knew, like where Palau is (why I know that - I have no idea).

[Tinaa]

6 for me. Really just lucky though.

Surviver, Maybe??

Got 4/10. I thought for sure I had the price of oil right, but nope. :)

[Lord Jubjub]

6/10. I probably should have gotten Palau. The ones that I guessed at were the ones I missed.
