Do you know more about science and technology than the average American?
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%.

Phew! That was difficult.  ;)

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

13/13 :)

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:

No, I didn't look.  :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
