*Cries* I don't recall the three missings, or rather, the spellings.
Khajit => Elsweyr? The name is almost Elsewhere, but not quite.
RedGuards => Hammerfall, Illac Bay is merely one place between Hammerfall and the Breton province. Daggerfall is in the Breton province, Sentinel in Hammerfall.
Breton => The province next to Hammerfell where you can go in Daggerfall. Sorry, I forgot the name. (Well, I could check for the name obviously, but...)
Imperials => Cyrodil is the other name for the Imperial Province, is a bit harder to remember heh.

There is some precedent for this.

I got a little over 17. Working in IT, having cable TV, and having a decent education has caused me to be classified as a geek. But at the same time proven the test to be geek-BS. Because everyone knows that redneck and geek can not co-exist in this universe

I'm surprised this one didn't make the list as it must be one of the geekiest things of all time:

1. I speak the Klingon language. (well that is the language made up by some other geek and called Klingon)

or perhaps:

2. I've read Hamlet writen in Klingon. (YES this book is available. I kid you not)

Suprisingly the only person I've ever seen labelled a geek, or anything in that vein, is someone labeling themselves....

OK, I redid the test without exaggerating (basically replying 'yes' when the real answer was 'I may have at one time, I don't know') and the score was :

39.64497 % - Major Geek.

Not surprising, since I've always been into puzzles and games, which eventually branched out into RPGs and computer games. I also read anything I can get my hands on.

Why is listening to TMBG a sign of geek-hood? I know TMBG from Australian science-fiction writer Greg Egan, but I have no idea what kind of a following they have in the U.S.
