11% of Americans can't find the USA on a map

And more embarrassing facts can be found in National Geographic's latest survey among 18-24 year olds. For example:

87 percent cannot find Iraq

83 percent cannot find Afghanistan

76 percent cannot find Saudi Arabia

70 percent cannot find New Jersey

49 percent cannot find New York

11 percent cannot find the United States

I bet Saddam is feeling a hell of a lot better now

So if 49% cannot find New York. How stupid must those (70-49=) 21% that can find N.Y. but not New Jersey be?

Bah! That totals much more than 100%, so this survey is obviously a scam.

I really have to doubt thouse figures. Everybody knows geogprahy is not the strongest points of murricans, but there has to be some fault in those figures. I refuse to believe those.

I don't believe those number either. The murricans cannot know that much...

HAHA, go to the page and do the test. I'm on the first question, 55% of swedes knows the population of the US; only 25% of the people from the US, in fact they are the worst group on the first question! ´

In related news: 100% of Swedes in this thread cannot correctly subtract the number 49 from the number 70.

No wonder Bush got elected. He is the guy next door.

I did the survey. I missed only the question about the most populated religion...

Actually, this survey only proves the stereotype of americans to be correct.... @americans
