Would be interesting to see people's scores on here for this.  I'd expect quite a few to get 100%, and most to get at least 10/13 right.

Sigh...one wrong.

Tooooo easy

I got 11/13 correct, which for me is impressive. A couple of them were driving theory test obvious even if you had never heard of the thing being asked.

12/13...and a Yank.  Thanks to all my European friends for learning me shit throughout the years. 

12/13 sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

12/13 got 'What gas do most scientists believe causes temperatures in the atmosphere to rise?' wrong, sighs.

So did I!  Obv a trick question.

Or not.

I presume the average American's response to each one was 'god did it'

11 as well.  Didn't like to show off.

Sigh, did a 12.  Got the blood one mixed up like I always do.

Scoring 11 was bad enough but gutted I had to enter age as 50-64

11/13, failed on electrons and atmosphere questions :(  Not that bad though considering that (a) Im a girl, so apparentley not good with science and stuff ::) and (b) I have a 'less than high school education :)

12/13 after brainfarting on the Earth's atmosphere make up.

On the plus side, I nailed the answers on my age and gender (after a quick check/fiddle).

This !

agreed, although I got 12

12 / 13
brain fart on 2

O levels FTW

Too frightened to open the link :)

Got 13 but only through running good on the last one which was a complete guess.

Ship the 3 to 1 shot!!!!!

12, got done on the atmosphere question.

10/13........still better than 63% of folk.

I'll take that over time!

Same here. #Sigh at changing my mind on one.

Made a few educated guesses and managed to somehow get 13.

12, about 4 more than I expected.

At least 2 or 3 were educated guesses.

11 with this and not having a fracking clue.

Adults in developed countries should not get any of these questions wrong. Incredible that 69% of "college graduates" don't know what is in the air they breathe.

13/13 But I wasn't sure if one was a trick question so did a bit of pondering and in the end went with my gut instinct.

You answered 13 of 13 questions

I assume they mean correctly

Hand back that M.A.

Only if they return my fiver.

Reckon I'd have got 13 if I'd taken the quiz before that night out in Prague - I've never recovered!

Ha!

Careful what you say on the internet!

You do know only about 85% of British adults know who the Prime Minister is, don't you?

Blairs Britain...

MacMillan out!

8/13.

Guessed most of those too.

Just for you lot to take the piss ............6

Ok I'll be the first  ;nana;

Fair enough, if you didn't have time to finish, mate.

You're also rich enough now to have someone to do all that science thinking for you ;)

12/13, although a bit of guess work in there.

13/13 here my 10 yr old got 10/13 which makes her better than 62% of the adult population bit scary that!

Funny how the question on the atmosphere tripped most people up, on here and in the survey.
Reckon its one of those things you assume you know, but have never actually thought about!

Agreed, but pretty sure they've got this one wrong and the Atoms & Electrons muddled up

You can have your piss returned next time one of us tries to build a kitchen.

If you had been educated you wouldn't have needed to guess  ;)

12/13, got the main gas in the atmosphere wrong, sigh

The atmosphere is a little under ⁴/₅ Nitrogen.

Very much one of those oddities you either know or you don't, because of how we know the oxygen we need comes from the air we breathe. But now we all know and can catch our friends out with it :)

I can just imagine how that conversation would play out....

Me (Enthusiastically) 'Hey, which gas do you think makes up most of the earths atmosphere?'

My friend (eyes rolling) 'Erm, Oxygen?'

Me (Triumphantly)  'Ha! No! Its Nitrogen!

My friend (Eyebrow raised) 'Oookaay! Did you see Eastenders last night?'

Quite right, no one likes a smartass :-)

If that doesn't work, tell them you can work out how many minstrels are in a packet just by someone shaking them by your ear.

When they do it, pause, think and say seventeen.

Then collect your wager.

Hmm, sounds quite impressive, but if you could identify the percentage of orange ones in a packet of Revels by shaking them by your ear I would declare you a God amongst men!

I am brilliant, but only within narrow perameters.

Am I the only one here now thinking of buying five packs of Minstrels to check this out?

Plus I really do like Minstrels.

 rotflmfao  I don't even like Minstrels and I'm considering it.

We could be a double act, Laxie, you could do the shaking and the guessing and I'll eat the choccies!

Is 5 a significant sample size?  I would have thought you'd need to buy at least 12 bags... ;)

Excellent plan!  You're on   :D

Good shout Boshi.  Now I'm planning to make an online order from Tescos of 25 bags of Minstrels only.  Then ask the delievery dude 'So, any substitutes?'

Please do this, and make sure you video it :D

13/13 very suprised tbh

An embarrassed 10

same same

never ever heard of fracking

If I said 13/13, would anyone believe me?

11/13 for me but I was definitely guessing at a couple.

11 but ran good on a few, hate science

9. not impressed.

11/13 with a good few lucky guesses.

I had a pop at this got 11/13 and I'm thick lol

I got 11 innit

11 but should have been 12 with instinct telling me radioactivity is not entirely man-made.
