At first I thought that you’d linked to this before, but that I was a different quiz! I got a 100 too. But I totally guessed on the first one, but could have easily gotten 3 or 7 wrong due to forgetfulness and unwillingness to make absolute statements when there probably are exceptions respectively. I mean, I bet there is a virus out there that might be fought off with antibiotics, right…

Wait a minute…only 46% of adults answered correctly on “is an electron larger than an atom” question!? I can only assume that means that those people have no f%&^ing idea what an electron is otherwise I find it (even more) inexcusable.

Seriously, Seeker, if you can analyze the questions to that depth, you pass. This is my problem with exams; some individuals (such as myself) will do this when faced with questions such as:
“The earth is a sphere” T/F
False; it is an oblate spheroid

I would far prefer a q/a discussion of the information with someone highly knowledgeable in the area.

…good point.

Hey – If I got a 100% on it – EVERYONE SHOULD!!

Seeker – At one time, I was trying to post a quiz once a week. Why don’t you guys write up a quiz for me??

If everyone could send me 2 or 3 questions, I bet we could have a real good one!! :-)

I think I missed the question about my age ;-)

Wow, some folks really don’t know science at all!

It’s OK – I know how old you are Gramps! ;-)

12/12. Honestly, it is a bit disturbing that anyone could get much under 7 or 8.

It’s pathetic. I know! :shock:
