I would certainly hope so! :graduate:

Result: You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly. You scored better than 93% of the public and the same as 7%.

Just managed to scrape a 13 out of 13 . . . but then I am an English, not American, cat. :P

Did you look at the demographic results? Only 31% of the college graduates originally tested knew that nitrogen is the major component of our atmosphere. :no:

Pretty much as to be expected, I guess.

Not sure if I should admit it, but I guess I must be a college graduate then. And it's gone 11, 'Better be off to the Students' Union discotheque. :blush:

Not at all. Speaking for myself anyway, the truth was bound to come out ;)

Reminds me of a school physics exam around about pre o-levels, where I got 97%, my best-ever exam mark and just one question wrong.

The question that beat me was the waveforms emanating from a violin, being transverse or longitudinal. I understood the physics perfectly. The trouble is, I wasn't sure what a violin was. :D
