I got 13.

And you ?

Well, at least I know the Earth is not flat.

I got 22 out of 20.

They are not science questions - they are celebrity and gossip questions, just happen that the celebrities and gossipists are related to science fields.

3. Who admitted finding women “a complete mystery”?

Which supermodel impressed Brian Cox with her knowledge of quantum physics at a showbiz soiree?

How is this a science quiz

I'm big into Science and got excited about this quiz, after the first couple of questions I said "fúck this, this isn't Science!"

There's not one science question in the list. This quiz proves who reads the daily mail more than others.

Edit: I got 6 :pac:

Potatoes!

Was the question 17 answer not obvious to anyone, you know, who is alive.

Queen-Mise · 22-12-2012 7:49pm

OK - that was embarrassing. I got 9/20 but four were guesses

Good quiz though.

You should be proud, it was pop culture nonsense

Question 19 was my favourite - must suggest it to the husband later, I am sure he will go for it.:D

The Observer is the Guardian's Sunday newspaper.

But yeah, lure me in with false promises of Science - shame on you (8/20 for the record).

2 out of 20.

Fucking dopey quiz tbh.

woodoo · 22-12-2012 7:57pm

Where are the answers

3ndahalfof6 · 22-12-2012 7:59pm

I wrote the answers on my arm before going into the room to take the test, (perma marker does not wash off easy)

The geography quiz is poor enough too...

"who is head of the world bank?"

"who is head of the african union?"

and

"what did a spoof charity single appeal for?"

what the fcuk have these got to do with geography? Very poor from the guardian.

But I didn't count the ones I guessed.

Ava_e · 22-12-2012 8:06pm

The answer to number 8 was Aliens though, I remember seeing a NASA/BBC report that said if any astronauts saw anything suspect on their trips, they could not disclose it to the general public. As they would have a major freak out. Buzz Aldrin said he saw something and nothing http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=KpfvhdmhQy4&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DKpfvhdmhQy4
