"History was not particularly difficult, because I (unfortunately!) Have witnessed a lot of them," Rasmussen wrote. Geography and science were her always easy. The questions about film and television have their problems because they avoid both. "At worst, I found it, the photos of certain people to identify them. I always think that politicians are somehow equal. Psssst! :-)"
What knowledge counts when everything just a click away?
So it is therefore their old head, Rasmussen writes. The secret of their success they also reveal: "In the morning reading blogs online, then I always know what is happening in the world is going on, here's before we see on TV."
