This Year Was a Blur
You don't seem to know a lot about what happened this year. Maybe that's for the best, it's been a difficult year. Still, knowledge is better than no knowledge, and knowing what is happening in the world can help put things in perspective. Why not try again or check our answers to see where you went wrong?
Some Yes, Some No
You definitely do pay attention to things happening, but you either don't catch them all or you don't care to remember that much. Maybe you just hear stuff along the way and are not that interested, or simply do not have the time to look up everything. That said, you still recalled quite a bit, so kudos!
You've Been Paying Attention!
You have NOT been asleep this year! You definitely know the major events, when they happened and why. You're one who pays attention to the things happening around them, with a healthy curiosity and a good memory to boot! Kudos on acing this quiz.
