Actually I do believe that the US capitol isn't in a state at all it's in a district. D.C. stands for District of Columbia. As for some of the other questions like how many moons are in our orbit, the answer is none we have a moon that orbits us, but we orbit the sun. I'll give you that Geography isn't my strong point, so state capitols I'm weak on. Sorry Texas. Still any idiot can go look them up, and sometimes it's not knowing the answer but knowing where to find it that counts. Over all it reads like the quiz maker needs to look in the mirror if he's really looking for what gives our nation a bad reputation it's not that we're stupid, it's that some of us think we're smarter then we are.

Frankly, the fact that the author of this quiz decided to mess around shouldn't be rewarded. When people read "How many moons are in our orbit?" they will think of Earth, not of the United States. Likewise, when the author asks what "State" the White House is in, s/he's being too cute by half by including the actual location of the White House. Apparently we are supposed to assume the infallibility of the author and recognize that we are not supposed to pick any of the answers. This is one of the dumbest quizzes possible.

phdbd- who gives a damn about you?
texas is part of the US so i suggest you stfu.
the capital is very important. and its like the easiest question on there. dumbass.
and yes i'm a PROUD texan.
and zangar. i agree with you. "What STATE is the US capital in?"
none of the answers listed were even states!
this quiz sucks. and i'll bet you didn't even get the capital of texas right.
you probably said houston or galveston.
uh yeah, A LONG TIME AGO.

Who(other than texans) gives a damn where things are in Texas? That JFK was assasinated there speaks volumes. Where the capitol is matters nowt.

You may want to reconsider how this answer should be written "By the time it was built, the Russian's was better so NASA started over."

Russian's was?
Typical American.

There is a joseph Kennedy who is a brother of JFK and our country's capitol is not in a state by a district...Hence the name, District of Columbia!

Well, I may have gotten only 75% correct, but I do know the difference between Your and you're. Probably should fix that.

I scored 90 - which I don't consider all that great. Most of the questions posted here (Which civil war,etc) can be answered by remembering that this test us supposedly about American trivia. As far as Freud being foreign, that's certainly true - but his theories swept the U.S. and were latched onto by American psychologists. It's a flawed test, no doubt....but quite frankly anyone can post anything on the internet. I don't take it seriously. Go play Jeopardy instead. : )
