Well, I didn't do very well on that - however, we are a large ward and from the map, I live right on the far edge of it. I only got one question right.

[humbersloop]

surprising isn't it?

[agchristie]

Got quite close on some by complete fluke but still only scored 48% ! Some odd questions!

[black_cat51]

that was really interesting and eye-opening!

[wolf63]

It doesn't cover Scotland. :-(

[Graham-W]

59. I did quite well on some questions but was very surprised by a couple of the answers.
One was number of households, per hundred, without a car or van. I was quite shocked by the answer.

[Prudie]

43%, really close on some questions but wildly out on numbers in own home/mortgage and Christians..

[tonyav]

57%.

[woofgang]

That's a very boring quiz. I didn't think it was very relevant to knowledge of area either

[Maydup]

Boo it won't work on my iPad and I so wanted a go at that!

[jeffa]

Agree with woofgang.

[pixie373]

Won't work on my phone either. I would probably have got most wrong though. My sense of direction is legendary (and not in a good way).

[boxtops]

I agree with the others - I thought it would be about my area, not the census demographics.

[wiltsman]

Interesting quiz. Got one exactly right and just a couple out on three more, but my overall score was 56%. The only one I got correct was, how many out of a hundred people are Muslim. The answer was 'one'.

[agchristie]

It wouldnt have mattered Pixie! Q's were statistical

[humbersloop]

what would be then woof?

[jomifl]

44% :o( I was expecting questions like which is the best pub and what was Lepe's role in WW2. But never mind..

[pixie373]

Ah, ok ag. I only saw the first one- couldn't "sweep" or whatever it was.

[Baldric]

51% after living here for 18 months, Rubbish!

useful things humbersloop, house prices, school ratings, entertainment facilities for people with disabilities. Why would I know or care that 60 out of every 100 people declared that they were christian?
