Lei Jun says more than 90% of startups will fail — so the maximum score on this quiz is only 66%. The remaining 34% he calls "rare luck." Answer all 12 questions and see how much of the controllable part you've nailed.
* Max score 66%: scored on the controllable factors only; the remaining 34% is what Lei Jun calls "rare luck."
