Isn't that ridiculous? I mean how stupid could you really be?
I'm just happy Holland was among the top 3 of best answers with a 74% score, Sweden topped the chart with 79%.

Cyprus scored the worst with only 49%... candidate for the EU Turkey participated too and scored a sad 44%
Do you have a source for this? Otherwise it's fairly meaningless.
