From the article:
"Hosted from London, the programme boasts a panel of quality thinkers, movers and shakers - a seldom-convened brains trust of world views on America pre-eminence. "
If that's the case, why don't they tell us who any of them are? It's going to be a bloodbath, and all about G.W., the f@&#er.

I got 8. I didn't know about the hamburger or the latest revisionist theory on the Siberians.

9 out of 10. The only one I missed was the dollar question, which seems to have more to do with Germany than America, but that's just me.

I got six, missing pretty much the same questions most missed (because they're a bit of bullshit). The revised discovery of America, populations and internet usage and the dollar crap. Don't think I'm a bad American for not knowing all that, but damn, still stung a little….

PS, I only got hamburger because when they mentioned adding bread to the meat to stretch it, I thought, "Dude, that's not hamburger, that's meatloaf!"

Got the hamburger one wrong and the "who discovered the place" wrong.

Actually I'm a pommie, and don't our backs get wet when we're swimming across the Atlantic?
