[BruceRPA]

Aced it!

It's sad to see the results showing how many people missed so many rather basic common knowledge science questions. There were a few that were not exactly what I would call mainstream but the distribution of answers on the real basic ones is disappointing.

[aopisa]

13/13

Too bad they did not have an AK member demographic category!

 

[71Vega]

13 - in the top 7%..

 

[Phase700b]

woo-hoo. . . 13 out of 13. Top 7%.

Dunno what good it does. I was in the top 2% of my high school graduating class. No scholarships for me. Top 1% of college grad. . . . didn't matter for employment and still was going to get drafted.

So. .. signed up for 4 years in the Air Force doing electronics. . . Winner! Back in the 70's I could pick my job and electronics career field.

Today. . . .. nothing much helps as a guaranty for getting a good paying job, comfortable income and benefits for a family's well being.

Sorry for the editorial. . .. this economy gets to me some times and what it is NOT doing for our kids.

13/13

Got out of high school with a high C average 2.83 GPA screwed around one year as a Biology major then got through almost a Year of Auto Tech.

I drive a dump truck and trailer 8 months out of the year and make about 42K with 4 months off a year.

"You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly."

[derekva]

100%

I could not remember hydrogen or nitrogen in air question.

Just remember that hydrogen will want to bind with oxygen at a 2:1 ratio in the presence of a spark (like lightning).
