Don’t mind the website it’s on, shit is still legit. I’m honestly curious how your average person would score on this.

I finished with a 68%. 34/50. I nailed anything referring to greek mythology, astronomy, or physics for the most part, and got raped on chemistry.

i got 9 of 15 right then lost interest

i also guessed on at least 3 of the rights and wasn’t too sure about the others.

there was not a single question i found practical to actually know the answer to however.

the greek name for brontosaurus is useless knowledge.

Welp, it’s a good thing I’m a Technology Teacher or else I’d feel like a total dork…

48/50…lol.

56% breezing through it

man, finishing college 5 years ago has left me with a lack of brain activity

54%, good thing i am not a technology teacher

22/50 44%

I did well on the chemistry and astronomy,the mythology and physics I was on the fail boat.

ou answered 34 of 50 questions correctly for a total score of 68%.

Over half the ones I got wrong I realized as soon as I clicked I fucked up. Meh, I’m happy for after two am coming home from the bar.

25/50 50%

I was in AP physics for two weeks before I dropped and went to AP Chem so that left me a bit clueless on a chunk of questions

I stopped at 14 out of 20, so I’ll extrapolate that to 35 out of 50. I’ll give myself a bonus point and make it 36, since I know what extrapolate means. :slight_smile:

31 out of 50. My wife is a chemist. She’s probably going to divorce me when I share that score.

PS… this thing is a productivity plague. 5 people are taking at my company and it’s started to spread at my wife’s company.

50 questions? fuck that

46/50 going quick

I’m on the fail boat.

Just beat me, 47

43/50

not too bad with no degree

I have a feeling you’re lying^^

i have a feeling you are not right
