Yeah a chimp should go 5 for 5, nothing against chimps BTW

james1787 · 6 June 2013, 05:42 AM

I managed 5 out of 5 but admittedly best guessed one or two. I really need to learn more..

1675-David · 6 June 2013, 05:48 AM

I got 4 right and I know sh#t about money

cop414 · 6 June 2013, 06:18 AM

5 for 5 here, before I was a copper I spent 5 years as a bank manager believe it or not.

Lisa · 6 June 2013, 06:23 AM

I guess I've learned a little.... got them all. Still don't really know anything.

Yeah you're right Lisa, it isn't a test of "knowledge" really just a test to see if you've been introduced to the concept of interest rates, markets and futures. No tangible lessons to be learned from any "basic" quiz.

SohAIS · 6 June 2013, 06:35 AM

got 4 so i guess im worst than a chimp when it comes to money LOL

Lion · 6 June 2013, 07:13 AM

I did answer all the questions correctly but in the scheme of things...that doesn't mean 'diddley-squat'!!!

masterserg · 6 June 2013, 07:18 AM

5/5 here as well and I still think your average chimp outsmarts me ...

kilyung · 6 June 2013, 07:48 AM

5/5. Silly test.

AzPaul · 6 June 2013, 09:11 AM

Pretty basic stuff.

The Joker · 6 June 2013, 09:34 AM

Got 90% correct.

skypilot · 6 June 2013, 09:43 AM

Uh ! 90% ?

Thatguy · 6 June 2013, 10:19 AM

5/5 what do I win?

Andad · 6 June 2013, 10:21 AM

Didn't click the link.
Scored 6/5.

sea-dweller · 7 June 2013, 12:44 AM

5 out of 5, but I am an Econ major!

mtrunner · 7 June 2013, 01:08 AM

5/5 but this is so basic. What is really scary is the average number of correct answers is 2.9. Mississippi has an avg. of 2.53.

I got four out of five, but I now know more than I did before I took the test.

I missed the bond question.

perpetualman88 · 7 June 2013, 07:06 AM

common sense stuff

theloxmyth · 7 June 2013, 07:08 AM

You got 5 correct answers out of 5

But, you must remember that I'm just a loxmyth.

Rockrolex · 7 June 2013, 07:19 AM

Got 'em all right. At least Maryland has a 3.02 rate, which is better than the national average only behind a few states.

bayerische · 7 June 2013, 08:25 AM

5/5...

Average is scary!

Angrypuppy · 7 June 2013, 09:20 AM
