Test your knowledge about humanity's most burning problems

... and prepare to be surprised:
HTML https://www.gapminder.org/test/
Notes:
- The website doesn't ask for your data, email, or anything
else.
- According to this article (sorry, it's in German):

among many others, the test was sent to a group of Nobel prize
winners who did worse than anybody else. ;D

I guess I failed. I couldn't even get the test to start.

I'm not scared of showing my ignorance. I got 31%. I seem to be
very negative about the world. But I don't want to blame myself.
It's the mass media's fault. ;D

Thanks, Chizuko! If it's any consolation, I didn't do any better
- and that's in spite of having read the article which gave a
pretty clear indication of what the correct answers were. :)

I am like Chizuko. I got 31%. And looking over my answers I
see that when I did not know I systematically guessed a more
pessimistic view than reality. The world apparently is not so
bad off as I thought. (I think I could have done much better if
it were about the U.S. I think my view of the world is that
there is SOOO much poverty, but apparently there is not quite so
much as I thought.)
