90% for detecting real news, or fake?

I didn't know the answers to a few questions, but just picked an answer to make it fast- 90% for real news, 70% for fake, but I rolled my eyes when I read a few questions. Second time, it showed

I got 90% overall (19/20). I got all of the fake news questions correct, but I thought one of the real news questions was fake.
I didn't know the answers to some with complete certainty either. But, being generally well-informed, one can often divine the correct answer. And yes, for some of the questions, you'd definitely have to be a tinfoil hatter. But, some people do get those wrong.

I got 20/20 but I'll admit I guessed on some questions.

Took it, hit submit, and it just sat there, and sat there

True or False?

Took it, hit submit, and it just sat there, and sat there

Same here and after a long while filled a few details, like age. But got no score: Just a question to once again agree to the privacy policy.

Finally got to complete, finally

True or False?

Well that's just something you just don't see every day

Did ya know : The famous Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is getting a new name, the Frankmobile, as the brand focuses on its all-beef franks. True or False

I changed three answers during the second test, intentionally- one was correct the first time and the score reflects that.

WRT tin foil hat- you mean the ones about vaccines containing toxins, government messing with the climate, etc? Yeah, those are the ones that made me roll my eyes.

I installed a stereo in one of those- comfort wasn't a priority when they were designed.

I would rate it as possible since so many people hate beef and prefer to eat birds or vegetation.

What would you think if they used Venison? It's a better choice than Cow, but they would need to be farm-raised and CWD would need to be avoided.

Actually : true May 17, 2023 from the Kraft Heinz Company.

good old backstrap but that means less deer. Just eat more Cow & Pig.

You rolled your eyes; many others out there gobbled it up as facts.

[Dude#1279435]

Should have been a Trump Misinformation Test, but fine, whatever, be that way.

Did you take the test?

 

[Dude#1279435]

Did you take the test?

No it was a joke.

 

[Trell]

No it was a joke.

So you would’ve aced the test then if you took it, without googling for the answers?
