19/20. I actually didn't think that Christianity was the worlds #1 most populous religion.

Also fell down on the Christianity one: I wonder which numbers they were using: populations of countries weighted by percentages, numbers reported by religious organisations, or the answers that people give to pollsters.

(Translation: I'm struggling to find a way for the correct answer to have been 'wrong', I guess)

20/20 with no guessing either. Now I'm going to treat myself to some southern style peach cobbler. :)

18/20 - the Christianity one and also the one about Kashmir (I think). However, I suck at Geography. Like, it hates me more than Physics or Calculus :(

Does anyone else find it amusing that so many of Doug's friends missed one of only two questions (the other was "where is Mexico?") on which US residents scored significantly higher than residents of most European countries?
