British Citizenship Test

TheEditor just took the test on the Guardian website with this result:

Congratulations – you are safely over the 75% hurdle. You have passed the Britishness test.

Of course, we are not sure if the Guardian, in their capacity as left wing closet republican intellectuals, rigged the test to be easy, but who wouldn't enjoy passing?

[Update late Tues. 26 March]
Did the German test on the FTD web site:

Mit Auszeichnung bestanden!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Sie sind ein wahrer Musterbürger!

That's "Superkraut with honors"!


The nail biting question: how does TheEditor do on the American test?
RESULT:
You need 60% to pass the test.
You answered correctly 18 out of 20 questions. Your score is 90%. 

While we are working, how does TheEditor do for Canadian in British Columbia:
Canadian Practice Citizenship Test
Your score: 85%

Australia was tough, but TheEditor was saved by ANZAC Day and sqeezed by with 16 out of 20.

Why did TheEditor do all of these tests?

Because, without passing them, TheEditor could not call all of these tests "government sponsored hazing".

And yes, we do know that a quarter or more of US citizens would fail their test. It's not the fault of the citizens, it's the education system.

But do not forget the important thing: enough money buys you any citizenship you need.

[Update 27 March] The French scrapped their test in 2012, oh merde, TheEditor so wanted to to this one, too. The question now: can anybody become French without hazing? That'd be so cool.

To my Japanese friends: I love you guys, but I won't do your test as long you put the verbs at the ends of sentences.  So desu ne.
