1. 13-0

[Xyzse]

2. This is a joke right? 13 of 13.

You scored better than 93% of the public and the same as 7%.

[El Supremo]

3. And this shows again how stupid most people are.

13 correct. I guess I'm a member of the 7%.

[sakabatou]

4. Got them all

[GeorgeGist]

5. 13/13

[iscooterliberally]

6. Thank you for making me feel like a genius today.

Except for the fact that I needed spell checker to spell the word 'genius'.

[Playinghardball]

7. Crap...I only got 12...

[iscooterliberally]

8. You're a genius too! Don't worry.

[orleans]

12. i only got 11. oh well. n/t

[femmocrat]

Chemistry questions! LOL

[Fla Dem]

30. Me Too! Better than 75% of the public, and with another 10%, so don't despair. nt

[RebelOne]

14. I only got 10, but I scored better than 63% of the public. n/t

[pokerfan]

9. 13/13

without even any doubts. If the results of the 1006 randomly sampled adults are correct, then this is really depressing.

[Avalux]

10. It wasn't hard at all. 13/13.

It's kinda scary that only 7% of adults know all the answers.

[NightWatcher]

11. I'm half drunk and took about a minute to finish it. 13/13

[geardaddy]

13. 12/13

[Tribalceltic]

15. 13/13

I was all happy until i found out that's average for a DUer.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

16. You answered 12 of 13 questions correctly.

Sad part is I know witch one I got wrong. I realized I did not read it right when I pushed the button!

[Tom_Foolery]

18. 12/13 for me, too...

It was the blood cells question for me. I knew the second I hit the submit button that I was wrong.

[Wait Wut]

17. I wanna see...

...the results from FReekshow.

[sarge43]

19. 13/13. nt

[annabanana]

20. 12/13.. nitrogen tripped me up..n/t

[whistler162]

28. same here.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

40. Gave me pause, too, but I guessed right and got 13/13

All those years of watching Star Trek and the whole 'class M' planet/oxygen-nitrogen thing they never quite spelled out the ratio.

[cyberswede]

47. LOL - me too.

[Callmecrazy]

21. 100%

Easy, please me.
I'm brillyant, yo.

[Glorfindel]

22. 13 of 13

I can't believe people scored so low on this quiz.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. Got 'em all, and they were easy.

The fact that only 7% got them all makes me worry about the state of science education in this country.

[lame54]

24. 12 for 13

[blackcrowflies]

26. 13

I actually found it encouraging that so many people got 10 or more. I would have guessed fewer.

[whistler162]

27. I guess I ain't not brite....

since I only got 12 write.

[bigwillq]

29. 10/13 (nt)

[GreydeeThos]

31. 13 out of 13 (it was easy)

How about quizzes about things like:
How much do you know about liberals
How much do you know about conservatives
How much do you know about religion
How much do you know about government

I've met people who can't name the three branches of government, but they know everything about politics. Go figure.

[Wounded Bear]

32. 13/13...Easy-peasy...

[BlueJazz]

33. 13. Piece of cake. Way too easy

[Trailrider1951]

34. 13 out of 13 right

I could have answered most of these correctly in grade school.

[Jenoch]

35. I almost answered oxygen instead of nitrogen

in getting 13 correct. I think DUers are an esprcially bright group of people. That's not to say all Democrats are real smart and/or educated. I know a lot of people who vote Democratic and are idiots.

[applegrove]

36. 12

[rurallib]

37. I missed the one about my gender

how do it know?

[LiberalElite]

38. 10 out of 13 -

I'm pleased. I was always lousy in science.

[baldguy]

39. You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly.

You scored better than 93% of the public and the same as 7%.

[Archae]

41. The questions were fairly easy.

Got 13 out of 13.

And it's been 35+ years since I was last in school.

[hunter]

42. Adults? I thought this was going to be about sex.

No, I don't mean if I'm male or female.

13/13, but then I'd hope so as a science major, teacher, and amateur evolutionary biologist.

[Expat in Korea]

43. Pretty easy.

13/13, but if they'd had oil as an option in the question about fracking, I would have had to guess. I haven't paid much attention to that issue. Everything else was a piece of cake.

[Warren DeMontague]

44. Yeah, that was pretty easy.

[WinkyDink]

45. "You answered 12 of 13 questions correctly." I never remember the one fact I got wrong!

[ReverendDeuce]

46. Interesting how many answers came to me from remembering not my classes in school...

Interesting how many answers came to me from remembering not my classes in school but rather the science fiction books I read growing up.
