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.

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.

Worked fine for me.

44/50, and I rushed a couple I should have got right.

But then I am dead clever.

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.

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.

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.
