Great job Mary Scott!

I didn't know Max Planck either. I mixed up mitosis with meiosis :bash

Hey, I got Newton's first law of motion without any problem at all, also the guy who noticed the red shift that got a space telescope named after him. I also remembered the mathematical constant "e" - but I learned it in the context of continually compounded interest - I am a Republican after all. :lol: :woo hoo:

Wow! All those classes were a LONG time ago! 39/50. But I cheated. My husband and I took it together. I would have been about 35/50 without him.

I'm so disappointed. :shakingh: What score did you get?

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

40/50 for me.

I don't recall learning the difference between DNA and RNA, but i probably did. I knew most of the physics (missed the Bernoulli question, though), but missed some of the biology. I should of known the dinosaur question, but missed it. Didn't know the 3 geology categories either. Had a few lucky guesses too.

That was a pretty tough test because it covered a lot of areas. I'd guess anything over a 25 would be a very good score compared to the general population who didn't get much exposure to math/science.

I'm not going to waste my time. I know I'm scientifically illiterate.
