My RT Iron Curtain score – they think I was a spy!!

August 15, 2011 By Doug Lawrence 5 Comments

RT test score - I was Spy!!

RT test score – I was Spy!!

I scored 14 out of 15 in Russia Today’s Iron Curtain quiz, which produced the assessment:

“We suspect you may have been on the payroll of some government or other, using your occupation as a greeting card salesman as cover. We trust you managed to find an alternative income source”

What will you be? Take the test and let me know 😉

    I got 14 as well – I think my lack of knowledge of soft drinks cost me the point!

      Thanks for sharing your mark Jim 🙂
      It’s a shame they don’t show where the points were dropped
      2 of my Russian friends scored 12 as well

    hehe, well I’m in good company then. Yes it would have been nice to see where the points were lost. Pretty sure I got the soft drink wrong too, my choice: Dr Pepper, and possibly eastern/communist bloc cost me too; I think I went for ‘eastern’, I remember thinking that was a bit vague, no idea where the other point went missing. Still, I’m not going to lose sleep over it.

      I think it was Pepsi, they also owned the marketing rights to Stolichnaya (Столичная) vodka in the … er … ‘west’. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolichnaya)
