I got 23/24, missing St David as the patron saint of Wales. Not bad!

Didn't try the test yet, but I know could totally ace the new entrance visa questionnaire:

Correct answer to be determined in a few months?

Nope, you guys were talking about banning him months ago. He's a moron whether he wins or not. BTW, I'm not moving... 18/24

Rejected: 18/24

I passed 20/24
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

20/24 but I feel a few of those questions are idiotic.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Which ones?

I often find online tests have stupid questions in them. :)

I passed. But seriously, Jane Austin? Which two are famous British authors?

17. Two of them were me going too fast through the test and answered before I even looked at selections.
