Post #158 from Dr. Crankenfuss, The World’s Awesomest Raving and Rapping blogger–

Today Dr. Crankenfuss is going to give you a test to see how well informed you are. All these questions and answers came from TIME MAGAZINE’s “The Answers Issue” (July 6-13). So if you got a problem with one of them, call TIME, okay? Anyway, try them out and when you’re done, I’ll give you a link to the answers. No cheatin’ now. (Dudes, I know some of you will.)

After you’re done and you know the answers, you can show off in front of your friends when they miss most of them.
