I got 36 out of 50. Stupid physics! :)

SC, disappointed! Thought you would get 50 out of 50. I didn't do nearly as well as I thought I would do, college was a long time ago. Anyone else have trouble with the test crashing on them?

LOL, I don't know everything! (Had a hard time paying attention in physics, and my brain deliberately refused to absorb chemistry info - I'm lucky I got some of those right!).

It loaded slow sometimes due to the ads, but it never crashed on me.

:wink: I like science, but it is tough for me to absorb it. I do better with the history and the labeling than the formulas.

You answered 42 of 50 questions correctly for a total score of 84%. :faint:

37/50. How in the heck am I supposed to know what German scientist they decided to honor using the letter "h" for crying out loud. Most of the rest had to do with molecular structure. Never took chemistry.

Silly PrintSmith, everyone knows Max Planck! :biggrin: :jk2: I can't believe I messed up how many nanometers were in a centimeter - I was always doing those divisions when in the lab.

Great job Mary Scott!

The answer is usually the square root of 2 or something to do with pi (3.14283) I'll try the quiz later. LOL

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

Nope, the metric system rocks - everything's in multiples of tens!
