Results from student test

Total tested - 36 students

#1 - Country that starts with "U" - 35

#2 - Coalition of the willing - 0 (I think if I had asked them to define the "coalition forces" they would have done much better)

#3 - Religion of Israel - 9

#4 - Who won the Vietnam war? - 5

#5 - Who is Fidel Castro? - 10

#6 - Sides of a triangle - 33

#7 - UK currency - 11

I didn't think this was totally terrible for kids from the so-called wrong side of the tracks, some of which have probably never traveled much outside of their home state. Some of their answers, while wrong, were at least on topic.
