    I got 13. Yes any 15 year old should get 12-13. Nitrogen question isn't hard.

    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.

    The majority of the population will have a secondary or higher education. But 55% of people had difficulty understanding a simple referendum question.

    http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/1218/493688-referendum/

    The Referendum Commission has said consideration should be given to a review of how ballot papers are designed after it found significant confusion among voters in the recent Seanad referendum.

    It said 55% of those it surveyed after last October's vote said it was quite difficult or very difficult to tell from the ballot paper what they were being asked to vote for.

    You'll find a lot of people who didn't score 13 won't register the result in the poll above, out of shame of course, and so they should be.

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

    I am not a science nerd and I still managed 13 out of 13. Shocked that I managed that.

    I think the quiz was very basic as my knowledge of science could be written on a postage stamp.

    The study of science is very difficult. I take my hat off to you all, science people. You are all so intelligent.

    No, but I'm alright with that :D11/13

    You scored better than 75% of the public, below 15% and the same as 10%.

    1%01%13%24%36%48%58%610%711%811%912%1010%118%127%13
    TOTAL NUMBER OF QUESTIONS ANSWERED CORRECTLY
    These percentages only reflect the 1,006 adults that took part in the national survey; online quiz results are not included in the sample.

    Considering I'm out of the classroom since 1966, not bad. I now get most of my information from Google and The Kerryman

    Why does the scientist have to be a female?
    If a scientist has a group of 1,000 volunteers with the disease to study, should she

    13 outa 13, though TBH if I'd gotten much below ten on a "quiz" that simplistic I'd avoid sharp objects and lay in a darkened corner consumed by shame. And I didn't go beyond "high school".

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    13/13 but wasn't sure on 2 or 3. Some were stupidly easy like continents moving and the new drug one but tbh I'm surprised 7% got them all right!

    Got 10 out of 13 myself...

    The amount of people getting back saying they have got 13/13 seems like a lie :pac: or... or.... loads of people took the test, didnt get 13/13 and decided to not reply to the thread.


    Something is afoot, watson.

    12/13

    I didn't even realise I was taking a quiz. I began by trying to dismiss notifications that my anti-virus was out of date...
