OT: 50 question science test (I got 31 right)

Missed 10, guessed one or two correctly.

I dropped out when it said the age of the Earth is not 6015 years...up 'til then they were doing okay.

I got 39 right, 11 wrong. When presented with the right answer on the

11 that I missed, I consistently thought "I should have known that". Bummer.

Thanks. Now back to lying on my income taxes.

43/50.

42/50. And note to self: Dinosaurs are clearly not your strong suit!

But if you're feeling bad about your own score, in the immortal words of George Carlin: 'Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.'

46/50

The age of Earth is older than 6015 years. I visited a museum and inquired about the age of the dinosaur bones displayed and the attendant said they were 65,000,015 years old. So I asked how the age of the bones was determined so precisely and the attendant said they had told him the bones were 65 million years old when he got the job, and he had been working for the museum for 15 years.

Maybe it's my browswer or something but it wouldn't give me the results.

Maybe it's better that way.

86%: got 7 wrong, one of them by accident, guessed about 4 correctly.

43/50, but several of those were worked out from my small knowledge of Latin and Greek rather than science.

I got 47 right, without having to guess any of them. Of the three I got wrong, I had it down to 2 choices each time, and got each guess wrong.

I was pleasantly surprised, given the source of the test, that it was based on real science. It is questionable how useful it is to know the etymology of "quark", but I suppose that's the "literate" bit of "scientifically literate" :-)

I got the same, but guessed (correctly) on 2

30 right. Slightly below avg score.

I missed 6, mostly stupid mistakes due to being distracted and overconfident.

There were trick questions too.

I was taught that the fertilized egg had to divide at least twice to rate "zygote". That is a plurality of cells, not just one. I thought there was another term for the 'just recently fertilized but not yet divided' fertilized ovum.

You were taught wrong.

Ironically, I had the opposite problem on the ones like that. Guess I should brush up on my roots. :^)

45/50

I tried a diffrent browser.

35/50

Guessed on two.

Not bad for a dropout, I expect y'all to do better.

I forgot to enable javascript, so I did the whole thing and saw no results.

Then I did it again with the same answers and got 45 out of 50, guessing about 2 (but they were narrowed down to 2 choices).
