The Science Knowledge Quiz

12/12

12/12.

[Liar]

12 for 12 easily.

I liked the question on whether the moon was really made of green cheese.

[DarkReign]

Easy doesnt begin to describe that.

[RandomGuy]

Easy doesnt begin to describe that.

Yet many people did poorly.

Since that one was so hard, I went in search of other science quizzes.

I found an interesting quiz site that had various quizzes written by various people who registered and posted them. As one might expect they varied a lot in difficulty and quality.

Here is one I remember:

You drive the first half of a journey to a neighboring village at 30 kph. At what speed would you have to drive the second half of the journey to complete it with an average speed of 60 kph?

The answer given by the poster in DimGray [highlight with mouse to see] :
"Impossible to determine"

That answer was not what I came up with:
90 kph

Take it yourself, but be warned it is difficult and frustrating. I could not complete it without using a spreadsheet, and think it is poorly-written.

11/12. I didn't know aspirin was given to prevent heart attacks.

Weird.

It has also recently been found to have some benefits in regards to cancer, according to one study. Not sure if that will be confirmed by others, but it is interesting.

I don't see what the big deal is about getting 12 out of 12. WGAF? Not everyone gives a damn about knowing crap like this.

Don't be so defensive. Obviously, lots of people are dumber than a bag of spinach.

It thins the blood to prevent clots from forming and blocking the coronary arteries I think most older people (I'd say at age 50 or so) are now just routinely put on one baby aspirin daily for that.

I got them all but it should be a science/current event knowledge quiz, honestly.

Thats the mildly off-putting part. I am not saying going 12/12 is good or necessary, but dear God, you shouldnt get less than say 9.

I am smart relative to those around me, but a relative moron to many more who are not.

I'm surprised people got the antibiotics one wrong. Whenever I've gone in for a flu or something, it's nearly always viral, meaning they can't do crap for it.

11/12 ing electrons!!
