That was the spammiest, most ad-infected site I've ever seen. I managed to answer two questions before my page was hijacked.

EDIT: I'm sure there are worse sites out there, but I don't watch porn.

[Birdsnest]

ugh, sorry, page 2 had a "skip this ad" option, but it was just an ad, and it gave me the option of skipping it. No dirty spam like that, just an ad. I didn't get porn though on mine.

Anyway, the test part was ok.

Total score: 7 right, 3 wrong (70%)

Here are a whole bunch of other quizes:

But horses are plains animals! :P

Seriously, the quiz was too easy to get by process of elimination.

Eh. close enough.

I suppose, due to my partial hispanic background, I should have pride or some crap. ... nah.

[mancroft]

Not worth the hassle.

[zhang_bob]

9 out of 10

I got the last question wrong.

[Avengardh]

Those were the fucking easiest questions ever.

Even so I got Garcia wrong, wtf? Rodriguez should be it.

[Sierim]

Missed the Garcia question (though that was my first guess...). 9/10

Same here with Safari 3 + PithHelmet (http://www.culater.net/software/PithHelmet/PithHelmet.php) 2.7

9, missed the second-to-last one. I'm sure I could have looked it up, but that would be cheating.

I didn't get any ads, either, due to popup blocking and ABP.

[Hermione]

7 correct, 3 incorrect. And no it's got to be Rodriguez and not Garcia. They
are just wrong. Oh, and like the stupido americana
fell for the Cinco de Mayo trick. shit. Still I did
good though, for a white girl.

[ekolmus]

To everybody who pointed out that I should be using ad blockers: I was on my work computer, which is super crazy locked down by the IT department. You can barely wipe your ass without permission on those computers.

It is Garcia (http://names.mongabay.com/most_common_surnames.htm). However, I suspect it's because Immigration misheard it when people were saying "Gracias."

Dont think so. It is a common surname outside of the US too(most common surname in Spain).

My puns bob along your surface like brightly colored balloons on top of something dense.

7/10.

Which doesn't seem so bad given that I don't live in the nuevos mundos.
