It's "bare", not "bear" smarty pants.

It would be fun to see a breakdown by profession rather than state. Based on my experience, I would take the under on the typical corporate finance person getting more than 4 right!

All kidding aside, the fact that large swaths of the country can only get 3 (or less) right is pretty tragic, a cause of lots of personal harm/sadness, and a complete indictment of our high school system.

My daughters and I speak often about how ridiculous it is that in order to graduate from our local high school you have to take a class that involves cooking and they want to ensure you can pretend to shoot a basketball, but there is no requirement to understand even the basics of how money works.

And don't get me started on what they are NOT learning about history. Our kids learned virtually nothing about history. At least that's neutral compared to today's "history" in the classroom but YMMV.
