“The test was heavy on astronomy, physics, and chemistry, with a dash of biology, meteorology, and geology.
LOL! Doesn’t that just about cover them all?”
Pretty much! I guess they were weak on anthropology, botany, ornithology, and oceanography!
Seriously, I’m proud to be part of the Freeper community. To have an average grade here is to be a cut above the hoi polloi.
I was embarrassed to have missed the one with joule (I put watt), but I got a couple of guesses right. The test doesn’t really prove anything, but general knowledge and memory of various science facts. It does help to have a working knowledge of Greek letters and prefixes and the scientific theories that use them.
It's sad that about 80-90% of high school students today couldn't get 50% of these questions right.
But then, I couldn't have done it when I was 17 either. A lot of these things you learn just by reading, living and paying attention over the space of 30 years on this planet.
