And that's without even being prompted to answer a question.

I guess I'm just that good.

Same here. Maybe we need to study or something?

You answered 40 of 50 questions correctly for a total score of 80%.

Eh, not bad. Most of the ones I missed were chemistry related -.-

FTA: "7. In physics, what letter is used to represent the speed of light in a vacuum?

a

This is Fark.

The answer is always c.

36/50. I made a couple of stupid mistakes (really stupid mistakes), and had some issues with the biology and chemistry questions. The chem questions because I haven't used much chem outside of water and gasses in about 5 years (and chem and I never really got along anyway), and bio because I haven't had anything like a biology class since 6th grade (elected to take more chem and physics in high school instead). Actually, I'm quite proud of how well I did on the bio questions when most of my knowledge comes from listening to my friends study.
 
2012-01-20 11:52:49 PM
31/50. One was due to just not reading the question, the rest due to ignorance and bad luck on my guesses.
 
2012-01-20 11:59:52 PM
Oh and I missed the Australopithecus one, thought for sure it was from Australia. Oops.

The Christian Science Monitor is actually one of the most unbiased, well-written bits of actual journalism left in the US.
 
2012-01-21 12:05:17 AM
42/50 and I talked myself out of a couple that I should have known.

I studied English and haven't taken a science class since 1993, so I'm feeling pretty good about myself now.

It told me i have dandruff and smell like farts.

I think i took the wrong quiz.
 
2012-01-21 12:11:50 AM
Because I am scientifically literate, I answered a representational sample of five questions, of which I scored 100%

/100 page slideshow? bah
 
2012-01-21 12:14:56 AM
Only 40/50. Mostly stupid mistakes. Some of the questions were almost gimmes if you actually read them carefully.

What word, which comes from a Greek term meaning "good kernel," describes an organism whose cells contain chromosomes inside a nucleus bounded by a membrane, as distinguished from bacterial forms of life?

I got so far and realized that I was being fed answers.

39/50.

A couple were stupid mistakes.

I think its easy to forget a nanometer is a billionth of a meter. I always tend to think its a millionth of a meter.

35 of 50. Some were stupid mistakes, others were just ones I had zero clue on.
 
2012-01-21 12:36:37 AM
Gyaaaaaa... without cookies enabled it counted my score as zero out of 50. I am totally having a Sheldon Cooper moment at the unfairness of this blotch on my scientific record.

46, but only because I forgot my freshman level physics.

smooshie: Oh and I missed the Australopithecus one, thought for sure it was from Australia. Oops.

Yeah, that's kind of a trick question if you don't know much about human evolution. The name means "southern ape". Humanity originated in Africa and spread from there, so when in doubt, say Africa.

45. Dumb mistakes balanced out the lucky guesses.

I actually knew that one from my college physical anthropology class. Go me.
 
2012-01-21 12:46:15 AM
46/50 but I made lucky guesses on two.
 
2012-01-21 12:52:39 AM
50 questions?? I don't answer 50 questions for less than 3 credit hours.
 
2012-01-21 12:54:24 AM
I got a 12 on the ASVAB. I'm not even trying that. You are all atheist heathens. The answer to every question is Jesus H. Christ.

Got any spare change?

I find your lack of science disturbing.

I got 6 wrong. Damn horsepower.
 
2012-01-21 01:44:45 AM
100% correct!!! I had my 17 year old daughter take it for me. So yeah, I cheated :-p
 
2012-01-21 01:47:54 AM
48 out of 50, bizzitches! :D And that's without looking anything up. One I got wrong because I don't have the periodic table memorized and so missed a question about an element, and the other was because I don't know much about meteorology.
 
2012-01-21 02:21:26 AM
I got 31 out of 5 which I consider really damn good for a high school dropout who later got a g.e.d.
 
2012-01-21 02:23:53 AM
I was proud of myself that I only had one wrong by 22, then I noticed there were 50 questions and said fark this shiat and gave up to go back to reading Fark.
 
2012-01-21 02:24:55 AM
Well It seems my keyboard is busted and I have whole rows of keys not working. I had to get out the on screen keyboard to type this and have punctuation or the letter p or the number 0. I guess this will be the end of my posting till I get a new keyboard.
 
2012-01-21 03:03:48 AM
48/50. Got caught with brontosaurus and nimbus clouds.

40/50.

Not bad for having a couple liberal arts degrees.

2wolves: Pluto is not a planet.

The hell it's not. I will deck that guy who claims it ain't. His fancy degree ain't worth toilet paper if he don't recognize the term "grandfathering"

Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is amused by the futility of your argument.

god what a farking shiatty website. I got through 10 (10/10 woohoo) and was annoyed by the fact that a bar kept popping up in front of the goddamn "next" button
 
2012-01-21 07:38:20 AM
too hard, gave up.
 
2012-01-21 07:40:21 AM
41/50. I'm ok with this.
 
2012-01-21 07:47:30 AM
39/50, mostly the biology ones messed me up. Kicking myself over the abundance of oxygen in the earth's crust.
They almost owed me a new keyboard for the "6015 years" choice. Well played.

/Maybe I should reconsider coaching my child's school Science Olympiad, or at least hope they don;t have a biology project.
 
2012-01-21 07:58:50 AM
25/50 and slightly embarrassed. Wait, no lol fark you NERDS! I remember beating you up and giving you Indian rope burns in high school.

/I feel bad about myself.
