45 Right out of 50... blush... I am going to have to brush up on some modern developments of scientific history. . . and one brain fart about nanometers. Might have something to do with recovering from a nasty bout with the flu. With this one even my HAIR ached!

50 but what a pain with all the popups. They should give extra credit for using Explorer.

And I'll bet Santorum would get a higher score than 0bambi, because the former likely studied plenty of Latin while the latter was dawdling on the couch wearing a straw hat.

Got board answering questions at about 25 missed 1 question which i think I was right. I knew it was atomic number 8 which if I just went with that I would have gotten it right but they claimed it was the most abundant atom on earth. After that question I knew this was a waste of time

Doh! 30 out of 50. I guess that’s what happens when you were a Humanities major—in the 1970s!

Welllllllll

for some foolish reason . . .

even though I never took chemistry;

dropped out of physics in high school after a couple of weeks;

am fairly poor at complex math;

And don’t know a lot about a lot of science . . .

somehow, I still managed to score 66%.

LOL.
