A few tricky ones. 34/50 Title: Re: How's your science? Post by: outragous76 on January 07, 2012, 04:38:40 PM looks like a fun quiz but is ruined by the page regeneartion time for the next Q. was 3/3 when i gave up
Title: Re: How's your science? Post by: ManuelsMum on January 07, 2012, 04:42:04 PM looks like a fun quiz but is ruined by the page regeneartion time for the next Q. was 3/3 when i gave up Is a pretty fun one yeah, nice q's but challenging and some thinking involved. I have a mediocre-medium connection in general but I page-cycled in about 1 second or less, might be a prob your end mate. Title: Re: How's your science? Post by: ManuelsMum on January 07, 2012, 04:44:38 PM Pretty objective site considering its religious roots, love that they have a quiz with the right answers about the age of the earth/universe and hominid evolution but are still 'Christian'. Irreconcilable imo.

Post by: rex008 on January 07, 2012, 05:30:05 PM Worked fine for me.
44/50, and I rushed a couple I should have got right. But then I am dead clever. Title: Re: How's your science? Post by: Free_Rollin on January 07, 2012, 05:31:37 PM 35/50.

Do you or Jon MW have a background in Science? Title: Re: How's your science?

I was the same yer, would have probably beaten you but I was in a big rush really ;) Title: Re: How's your science?

I was hoping to get something around this score. I made a couple of stupid mistakes too like the nano question. Think quitting Physics after one year was a good thing for me.

Do you or Jon MW have a background in Science? That's mu I think yer. I messed up couple of the greek ones I think. I did psych, I think Jon did too. However someone just told me that it's a *pseudoscience* so maybe not lol. (Psych is lots of things, includes biology, physics, biochemistry; depends where you study it). My history and maths suck donkey balls, always let me down in quizzes like this. Title: Re: How's your science? Post by: AndrewT on January 07, 2012, 05:39:59 PM I was robbed - I would have beaten Rex if the quiz had the right answers for the question on the age of the earth and universe - 6015 years is right, Kinboshi told me.

My day is complete now. Cannot possibly get any better. Title: Re: How's your science? Post by: Jon MW on January 07, 2012, 05:51:41 PM lol apart from Maths the only science background I had is modular combined GCSE science - so basically no science at all apart from TV and books

It's weird I absolutely hate science, and could never probably watch a TV programme or read books on it. Obviously, The Big Bang Theory doesn't count, love that. Title: Re: How's your science? Post by: doubleup on January 07, 2012, 09:12:12 PM I know for a fact that Newton wrote his stuff in Latin, (tikay who was at school with him, told me)* I'm presently at 12/15 and prob giving up as double clicking is annoying.
ended up 41 - [ ] sulfur is spelt sulfur *glass houses stones etc Title: Re: How's your science? Post by: skolsuper on January 07, 2012, 09:23:13 PM 45/50 and misclicked molybdenum instead of palladium for the catalyst question (ok I changed my mind and got it wrong, but I think we should take my 1st answer)

Not sure of the palladium>goddess link....? |
