How Well Do You Know Canada?
Try this quiz. I scored 15 out of 21.

Given that it's a multiple-choice quiz, this result implies that I probably knew only 12 or 13 of the correct answers and got lucky with a few. But see what happens when you try to convince students that a correction factor for guessing and wrong answers gives a better estimate of how much they know.

Hey, I got 11, and I am not even sure exactly where Canada is. I suspect a correction for guessing would be appropriate.

Okay, I knew where Canada is (right by Mexico), but none of the answers to any of the questions. Through sheer 100% guessing, I scored 15 of 21, prompting this comment:

You GOT a score of 15 out of 21
Your rating: Superb! Only 2 Newfies have ever scored this high...

I only got a 9 the first time I took it (poor guessing I suppose), but I got a perfect 21 the second time through!
