Remember how unpleasant it was to be surprised with a pop quiz?
If I got 7 out of 10 I was a happy camper.
Now we live in an age of online quizzes, which can be a) fun b) informative c) a waste of time d) all of the above.
The answer, of course, is subjective. In the hopes that a) and b) are both correct, Goats and Soda has come up with a global health and development quiz covering milestones and millstones of 2023.
If you think you're up on diseases, solutions to poverty and global terms like "alloparents," give it a go.
And if you have any feedback -- or questions to suggest for a future quiz -- drop us a line at goatsandsoda@npr.org with the word "quiz" in the subject line.
