Ficheall · 23-12-2013 09:09PM

No

Herb Powell · 23-12-2013 09:10PM

No

I AM THE 7%

I got 12 out of 13 right, which is better than I expected since I don't have any science-based knowledge beyond the cursory.

Littlehorny · 23-12-2013 09:10PM

ah balls i got 12! thats even more annoying than doing badly

murphy05 · 23-12-2013 09:11PM

No

13 out of 13

Seaneh · 23-12-2013 09:11PM

No

Got all 13. Fairly basic stuff, surprised it's that low.

Manach · 23-12-2013 09:11PM

No

One of the 7%, but as this in of Americans and not Irish so thus hardly of note

GLaDOS · 23-12-2013 09:12PM

No

13/13, would have been a bit embarrassing otherwise :pac:

Saying fuck and shit isn't science.

So far one thing has been proven;

75% of Irish people lie in polls.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 23-12-2013 09:13PM

No

Easy stuff that. 13 out of 13. The standard scores seem very low. Aimed at Americans I I see!

Piriz · 23-12-2013 09:15PM

got 12/13 i've a MSc in a health science... got the Earth’s atmosphere Q wrong...

dxhound2005 · 23-12-2013 09:15PM

No

13 correct.

Would I be right in thinking that Nitrogen was the answer that people went wrong on?

NuckingFacker · 23-12-2013 09:15PM

I got thirteen correct, which suggests that the 7% might be out of the spectrum of people that got dropped often as a baby..

GLaDOS · 23-12-2013 09:15PM

No

I'd hazard a guess and say the average boards user knows more about science than the average Irish person. That said, 7% is incredibly low for such an easy test.

Thrill · 23-12-2013 09:17PM

Don't know

12/13. It sucks not being in the top 7%.

jam_mac_jam · 23-12-2013 09:17PM

One wrong..damn you hydrogen.....

kneemos · 23-12-2013 09:17PM

Any fourteen year old could answer those.

MurdyWurdy · 23-12-2013 09:17PM

I got 11 and was very annoyed afterwards at the ones I got wrong. That should not have happened!

Aineoil · 23-12-2013 09:17PM

No

I got 13 out of 13.

Yeah, looking at the results page it would seem to be the case.

Tricky question, seeing as Hydrogen is the most abundant element.

Lisha · 23-12-2013 09:18PM

I got 11 correct, am impressed especially as I was talking to my kids at same time

Went wrong on lasers qt and nitrogen qt

emo72 · 23-12-2013 09:18PM

one wrong. the oxygen one. i wavered a bit i knew it was tricky

23-12-2013 09:18PM

No

Well boards is clearly not going to reflect a standard population and will have a high proportion of 10+ correct results. It's a relatively easy quiz for anyone who's done secondary school level science and it's also very short.

But even still, I got 13 and anyone who didn't can suck my d*ck.

micar · 23-12-2013 09:18PM
