Has anyone watched 'Test the nation' on BBC 1 last night? (sat 8th oct). I did the test and scored 46.... "well done, within national average", so they said at the end. But of course, "could have done better" is my comment. So, who is the genius amongst us?
I got 50. Should have been 51 but one of my boys spoke over the question and I had to guess, even though it was an answer I knew when the results run through came on.
