Super! Auf dieser Basis sind Sie im Freistaat herzlich willkommen. Aber darauf kann man sich nicht ausruhen: Diese Qualifikation will immer wieder neu erarbeitet und nachgewiesen werden! Also bitte: Gleich noch mal den Test machen!
da schau her
Hmmm, so I guess if you don't speak German well enough to read and take the quiz, you're not a true Bavarian.
23. not bad for me i thought.
27 out of 37. Good enough for me and my Dirndls.
I instantly gave up after seeing a question based on that der, die, das rubbish that I always ignore.
18. Not bad for someone who has only been here a couple of months and doesn't speak much German!

Nun ja. Zum Sterben zu viel, zum Leben zu wenig. Oder anders ausgedrückt: Es langt noch nicht für ein Leben in Bayern, aber es ist noch Hoffnung.

Weird questions: "Where do Nürnberger Rostbratwurst come from?" or "What is the colour of the Black Madonna?"
I guess it's to trick those that expect trick questions...
both me and my German colleague got the Nürnberg question wrong
I went back and completed it just now, rather than just turn off at the maß question. The black madonna trick question certainly tricked me.
@Topsy - thats just bad.

Me, too, actually. I just couldn't believe it wasn't a trick question...
Anyway, I got 29 as well. Tie with Topsy, even though I've lived her more than twice as long...
Seeing as how there are not only trick answers but definitely wrong ones I refuse to take the result seriously. But it was amusing.
Heehee well I beat Topsy and Tom_a by one point, so there
And yes, there was at least one answer that was definitely wrong.
Well that's okay, then.

Would you care to elaborate?
No because that would be giving away the answers. Just don't take it seriously.
Well you claim some of the answers are wrong. Therefore, by publishing the correct ones here you can help people who would otherwise be supplied with false information.
the 15 I got wrong were all in fact incorrect questions.
So, taking that into account, I actually got 37/37
Just call me Eddie Stoibs

I thought that you should do a quiz without being told the correct answers first. I think that people will realize which answers are wrong when they do the quiz themselves.
Oh never mind

Lidl, of course. Pfft! What a stupid question.
Now, are you good enough to get a German passport? http://www.ftd.de/politik/deutschland/56873.html?nv=wt
I got 26 and my work collegue (who was born in Munich) got 28. He got tricked on a question or 2 and would have had 30...
