The Test is about New Zealand try your best!
It isnt very relative to you guys but its awfully quick and it will confuse you. :)

But more importantly if you get over 60% your a legend!:D

Opps better add the link.........

82%

lol, i jsut watched it on TV, so i get the Qs twice :D

14,14,10,7,8
53

its not fair to have 3 sections based arund sport and recreation, i had to guess about 90% of those

34.

I'm Australian, so at least some of this made sense to me, the rest was just OOh A looks pretty.
The only one I was really sure of was that quantum physics one.

I thought the answer was Genetics...

I started doing it on the net while i was doing it on the tv so that explains why i got 82% on the web and on tv i got 90% when i was donig the web one i was also doing it on the tv and so trying to answer two questions in 10 seconds is oh so hard.

I called Jandals flipflops/Thongs under all the pressure and missed a question so i couldve got 84% on the web.

Did anyone get the Former Governor General who swam at Gallipoli and recieved a VC?
I did! :)

lol - I had 20%!

But I'm from Portugal so most of the questions that I answered correctly out of pure dumb luck - the only ones I knew for sure were the anna paquin question and some of the ones about sports - and only those that involved competition with other countries (all those questions about criquet? c'mon!!!) :)

Wow. I know next to nothing about New Zealand :eek:


:(

30%

So where are you from?

Eh, I just remember learning something about a Kiwi getting a nobel prize for quantum physics work sometime around the 1960s the other week in physics - maybe it was another one.
On a side note, your population is only 4 million? Wow.. that's like Sydney.
It's nice to know there is somewhere with a lower population than Australia somewhere in the world =P (yes yes you own all our corporations, tush tush)

Rutherford's Den, relates to early quantum physics. The Nobel Prize question was genetics.

Do we? I thought you owned all of our corporations!

thank you I didnt get that question Christchurch is a hole why wold Rutherford be there.

Mind you on the Radio a station did a poll of the top 20 Greatest New Zealanders some who got on were Greg Murphy and Possum Bourne yet who missed out?...

Sir Ernest Rutherford
Sir Bob Charles (first and then only NZer to win a Golfing Major)

Phar Lap
Kiwi
Sir Ed
Pavlova
Kiesha Castle-Hughes
Russel Crowe-You can have him we get Gladiator though. 8)
..........

Remember Ansett?

*tries to think of more examples... erm... I unno plenty =P

Eew we don't want him *throws him back

Haha Pavolva - you can have that too =P

Yeah i got 77% on the tv it was those bloody old programs that tripped me up. And i sound older then most people on this forum. Go 2nd year Uni. How was i to get bloody programs that existed before i was born godammit.

You needent worry about who has to have Russel. He's out fighting the world with his trusty tug-boat 'Tugger' :p

Remember Ansett?

*tries to think of more examples... erm... I unno plenty =P
yeah that was a bugger the FAA(or whatever it is called) closed them down and sent Air New Zealand into a spiral but heres the trick we didnt want to buy Ansett we were told the only way youll fly domestic services here is if you own an Australian line.-Basically screwing us against an agreement we already had funny seeing how Qantas can and could fly here all along.

Pavlova is great!

Maybe its too much time in that golden thing that emits heat um the sun yeah we dont get much of that.

Yes too much Aussie sun made Russel a Yobbo!
Prattus Maximus!

At Least We Know That Russel Crowe's Band's a Fucking Pile Of Shiiiiit.

All disputes can be solved with a mutual hatred for Russ.

Nice to meet you.
which Uni?
I hope you Know Good night Kiwi!
I got tripped up on the last two rounds 14 and 15 respectivly.

Hey, about NZ universities... is Otago any good?
The man with the funny voice is always at all the careers expo things here and it seems like an ok place to go if I get a shit UAI. Know anything about it?

Its the best apparently but id prefer to go to Victoria!

Otago is just full of Beer and Scientists oh plus some pretty fine Hockey players(Ice Hockey and Field)

Aww the mods closed the girlfriend thread =(
I feel like being all chatty.


Eh, what was that about Air New Zealand and Ansett? They were forced to buy them? Eh? Then shut them down?

I got 70%. I don't think I did as well as I could of if I had thought properly about some of the questions. Also I accidently clicked the wrong answer on one of them :s

So where are you from?
Manchester, UK

Well that can be summed up as:

Air New Zealand's a small company.

Ansett was quite large.

Air New Zealand tried to run Ansett like a small company.

The end result was that it went broke.

Nuh ah Air New Zealand was respectably large and Ansett was a Lemon that we didnt want but more imprtantly done the quizz or has it closed?

I just did the test, and got 33%.

Not too bad for an Aussie I suppose. It did at least make me think that there are things about New Zealand that I don't know that I might want too...

34.

The only one I was really sure of was that quantum physics one.

Isn't the one about Crick and Watson DNA structure, not quantum physics? They were the ones who made the double helix model of DNA.

Anyway, I got 33% of the questions correct for the test. I just kept guessing B,C, and D, and there were very very few questions that I actually knew the answer to. I'm from the US.

27%, but I'm from Canada (I nwas conceived in NZ though :p )

right....

The Early Days.....................17/20
Making our Mark...................16/20
Backbone of the Nation..........19/20
Popular culture.....................20/20
Kiwis at play........................18/20
Total..................................90/100

Not bad. I could have got more had I not made a couple of dumb mistakes - like clicking on Helen Clark for 'Head of the Country'. They don't let you undo your answers, which is a pain.

thank you I didn't get that question Christchurch is a hole why would Rutherford be there.

Yeah, those popular polls are a joke. BBC did one on the most important Britons (placed in terms of 'Greatness') of the last 1000 years at the turn of the millenium, and Princess Diana came in 3rd! Ahead of Charles Darwin, William Shakespeare and Sir Isaac Newton (among others).
Yep, she had a bigger effect on World history than those three people combined. :rolleyes:
