Jetpunk Quizzes

Hello everyone, it's the weekend!

You may or may not have seen the Jetpunk quizzes popping up on Facebook.

The self-proclaimed "World's Best Quizzes" site has a lot on tap for you to pit your knowledge against on nearly any topic from NFL stars to European geography, the English language to Harry Potter character last names to history. These quizzes offer a prompt and a decent allotment of time for test takers to type in their answers and the tests themselves vary in difficulty. Four minutes to answer the descriptions of mythical creatures and twelve minutes to name all the countries of the world. (I got to 79 and blanked. I really need to study Africa more. Or that Animaniacs Nations of the World song.)

My first test I followed from a link off Facebook where I had to name all the states in the United States.




I was one of those geeks who studied maps in school. Maybe it was because I was a military brat growing up and I liked to color in the places I had been to like it was some accolade to show off. My knowledge of the east coast is not great, but I managed to get a 100% on this quiz despite it with 48 seconds to spare.

I struggled spelling Massachusetts correctly but eventually got it. Darn you Massa-Masse-Massachusettesss! Why you gotta be so hard to spell? We need a Massachusetts song to go along with our Mississippi chant.

After the tests you get a score and your score is measured against other test takers, your average and high scores. And under the statistics you'll find the quiz with all the answers revealed and a list of answers you input correctly and a statistic on how many others guessed your missed questions corcectly.

For example, roughly 38% of test takers miss Massachusetts!

Having studied English and Journalism in school, I also tried my hand at 'O' vocabulary for the English language.




Let's just say my attempt was somewhat offal here.

Also, mythical creatures--because I was one of those strange kids who actually read all the stats for creatures in the bestiaries of those Final Fantasy guidebooks.



Beasts!

I also attempted the Harry Potter character surname quiz and found myself ashamed once I got the results.



Can you beat any of my scores in these tests? Try it for yourself and post your results in the comments!

I challenge you to take this Countries of the World quiz and beat my score of 79. Do NOT watch that Animaniacs video first. I'll know.

Good luck and happy Sunday!
