So, I found an interesting article/quiz on ESPN today, talking about the different crazy rules and occurrences of baseball, and included is a fun little quiz (which is not dumbed down by any means) about some of the lesser-known rules of baseball. This is a poll, since I want to know whether you tried it or not, and what score you got on it (you may be surprised).

Here's the quiz: http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/quiz/_/id/4979/do-know-mlb-rules

I only got 4 questions correct.

I got 3 out of 10...

Average score is 37%, however.

That means I was above average!

Woo, I got 5. A lot of guessing though.

5/10, mostly crazy guesses.

6/10! Hell yeah!

General rule with quizzes like this: If the answer seems obvious, then you're probably wrong

2....

I got a 5. Probably would've gotten more if I had followed Skittles' rule there...

4

Aw yeah, 2. Not bad.

3... so I guess I batted .300 for the quiz

This is the first multiple choice quiz I've seen where it makes more sense to just pick the same answer every time than try to use logic. Of course even better, it seems, would be using logic and then picking the opposite answer.

Ah well, I don't claim to be an expert on baseball, especially the obscure rules that even the professional umpires don't know well.

I actually got eight. Random guessing except for the one with Matt Harvey and the one with David Ortiz. I knew those two.

So you're saying you guessed right 75% of the time?
