Foreign Policy Magazine's Quiz
In the 21st century, a lot more people are informed about international affairs than in previous centuries. It is now as easy to learn say about Pakistani domestic politics as it was to get bored 100 years ago. Granted, most of us have contributed zero to such development but we should nonetheless take advantage of it. Fortunately, if you think that you are informed about international affairs, there is a nice free way to find out: take the FP Mag's quiz. The quiz not only tests your basic I-read-The-Economist knowledge but also the unimportant minutiae that will score you points in a cocktail party. Typical questions are, "What percentage of the world’s cargo travels by sea?" and "Which country is home to the world’s busiest McDonald’s?". The only snag is that you have to go through a (pretty smooth) registration process in order to take the quiz.
