Wow, the three that took it so far, did better than I expected.
Oh, and Sanctaphrax, you're not number one anymore. Someone named Rich (Gataway_driver) took the lead. ;)

80%, not too bad...
What the... I entered "p", and just as I was about to enter the "o", it said I was finished, and gave me a score of 90!
...And now that I've taken it FOR REAL as Potaria, I got a 70. Meh, I could do much, much better.

Don't worry, coon is also a brand of cheese here. The coon the poll asks about would have the same meaning as the word '******.'
My browser crashed on the first question. Did the result show up?

The coon thing with the whole 'very bad word' thing. Why didn't you just say Aboriginal or indigenous person or at least a racial slur?
Yes, I realise it is also the name of a middle-of-the-range brand of cheese. New Zealand cheese is much better than Australian stuff.

Man... now I feel ridiculously stupid. 60? Dag, yo. That's like... godawful.
But I have to take issue with the Persian question thing. Here at GWU, they're advocating (vociferously) that the language be called Persian as opposed to Farsi; the grounds being simply that Farsi is what they themselves call it, and it would be appropriate only if we called Spanish Español, French Français, and Turkish Türkçe. With that in mind, I said Persian (even though I knew the answer would probably be Farsi).
And, just for note, this isn't something being pushed by academic yahoos. The fellow at the head of it seems to be Seyyed Hossein Nasr, the world's current pre-eminent Islamicist and Sufi. Just to clarify that I'm not wholly stupid.

Tasmania can make decent cheese... But most australian cheese is avarage at best. :( Some nice wines however... NZ too

The answers to many of your questions are so wrong it defies explaination.
(And you could at least have thrown in Church of the holy sepulchre).
I got an 80 not that bad I dont think.
