Education is easy: it hasn't changed since obbama's inauguration. Plus he's been in the news recently...I know most of them. I always know Transportation since they are on official documents where I work.

A full 91 percent admitted they would have blown it. One former champion insisted that she would have nailed it, “but only because of Jeopardy. The Cabinet was one of the topics I crammed on the flight to L.A.
