Interesting. I did lousy,,,only 33 out of 50. One question is totally unfair. Unless you have read the novel Finnegan's Wake, you will have no idea what the correct answer is.

44 - and three of them I changed from the correct answer to a wrong one. Trust your instincts...

Got 38...there were a couple I didn’t know, and there were at least 3 or 4 I would have gotten right if I had thought about it one more second.

Rigged test. #3 Requires obscure philatelist knowledge, not scientific.

36 out of 50, and I got the FInnegans Wake one by process of elimination.

40/50. I did figure out the right answer on a couple a microsecond after clicking the submit button on the wrong answer.... Interesting quiz but quite the eclectic mix of questions

Tough wide ranging quiz but I got 41 of 50 correct. I made an educated guess on a couple of them like the Quark question and the big bang question.

The test was heavy on astronomy, physics, and chemistry, with a dash of biology, meteorology, and geology. I got 45/50.

Got 41. Thought it was pretty good considering the wide-ranging field of questions.
To: chessplayer
82%. And a review of the wrong answers reveals that my greek sucks. Which is what my grandfather (baptist preacher) observed 40-ummmm years ago. My latin and hebrew were ok, but he always gritched to mom about my greek fundamentals.
That and chemistry. Part of that, I blame on Mary Sue, 5th class, 8th grade. Hard to concentrate on chemistry, when all you are thinking about is biology. ;)

You didn’t have to read Finnegan’s Wake to answer that question. You just had to know the date it was written and when the particles mentioned were discovered.
That question was element-ary my dear. Pun intended. ;-)

How long did it take you to figure out that the "previous" button actually worked?

Some might remember Winnagain's Fake. And that obscure pulp literary reference is lost in the haze of memory. Even google doesn't know about it.
But I do remember a Discovery documentary that explained where quark came from. ;)
