The only thing I know is what it said on the results page.

Quiz Average: 19.86 correct

You need 15 correct to pass.

Based on those numbers I can say definitively over 50% of those taking the quiz passed. For example, 14 is the highest non passing grade and 25 is the highest passing grade. So if you have 10 people getting 14 and 10 people getting 25 that would be 390 divided by 20 providing an average grade of 19.5. Mathematically you need more than 50% getting 15 or more to have an average of 19.86.

But I can not give you an exact number of how many pass. From the quiz average I would guess around 85% or more do get a passing grade. But then you must realize this is a Bill O’Reilly quiz. The majority of the folks who would take one of his quizzes are probably more knowledgeable on this topic than the average citizen.

I need to stop watching TV for some reason I remember an episode of Madame secretary where the president went missing something happen to the vp and she took over control of the country.

Nah, you just have to pay more attention to the shows you watch. In the episode of Madame Secretary, "The Show Must Go On", Elizabeth is temporarily appointed Acting President of the United States after Air Force One loses communication over the Pacific Ocean and the first three people within the line of succession are unable to take office for health and unavailability reasons. In that episode the VP, Speaker of the House and President pro tempore of the Senate were all unable to take over. It then fell upon the fourth in line, Secretary of State, to take over the office.

The Secretary of State is 4th in the line of succession if the President can not perform the duties of office. Here are the first four positions in the presidential line of succession.

[pre]1 Vice President of the United States
2 Speaker of the House
3 President pro tempore of the Senate
4 Secretary of State[/pre]

Just goes to show that GTC’rs are a smart group!! 😆 😆 😆

Aces it.

I remember the succession order for Alexander Haig and his infamous "I’m in control" faux pas.

I got 24/25. Not bad for a Canuck….EH

I missed your age for voting . I figured it was 21 for a Casino so the voting age would be the same.

We are 18 for both Voting and Casino.

CC Roller, I would expect nothing less from you. Furthermore being an advantage player, I believe I would have a huge advantage if I were to bet on your knowledge of our country vs. the majority of Americans who live here.

But speaking of the voting age, I am not sure I would have gotten it right except for what happened to me a couple of days before I took the quiz.

I had a conversation with a young man who was working in a fast food place. He told me when he went home at night his parents were watching the news and discussing the upcoming election. He said it seemed like that is all they talked about. He was proud that he was going to be able to vote in this election because he was turning 18 before the election. Furthermore he was working to help pay for his education. He said with his work and school he did not have time to find out much about who was running for office.

I congratulated him on being able to vote and that he felt civic pride in doing so. But I explained that along with the right to vote comes responsibility. I suggested that he do his best to learn the issues and as much about the candidates as possible. That way he could make an informed decision about his choices in the election. He thanked me and said he would try to do that.

I wonder what he would get out of watching ALL the debates going on ?
That would be interesting to see the results of him taking the test then taking it again after watching them .
Good Rolling.

The quiz is about the history and fundamentals or our country. There is nothing in the debates that relate to that topic nor should there be.

Having said that the debates are part of our political process in determining who should be the candidates to run then ultimately become President. In my opinion they play a role in learning about the people running for office. It is important to be able to filter out the "noise" which occurs in order to focus on what the candidates positions are on different issues. That "noise" by the way is generated mostly by the questions which some in the media ask to get provocative responses in order to drive up their ratings. A responsible citizen needs to be able to block out irrelevant questions and answers in order to focus on the substantive ones. Then one can get an impression of where the candidates stand on issues that are important to him.

For example, you took the quiz Determine which Presidential candidate you favor? I gave in another post that asks about where you stand regarding the issues that are being discussed and debated in this election. At the end you said the candidate you selected is no longer running. But you could still look to see how the candidates who are running agree or disagree with your positions in that quiz. Then listen for those topics in the debates and see if they are consistent with what you like or dislike. All the while ignoring the extraneous distractions brought about primarily by the questioners and sometimes by the candidates that are intended for visceral reactions by the viewers but not to learn about where the candidates stand on meaningful issues.

If one does that the debates can be a useful and productive tool in selecting the candidate one prefers.
