I took the test. Came up 16/20.

However, there are errors in the answers, from what I know of mythology,

Q5: Orion wasn't killed by a Scorpion, he was blinded by the sting of one, and is attempting to regain his sight be looking towards the rising sun.

Q2: Pegasus was born of the blood of the slain Medusa, not Hydra, who was beheaded by Perseus.

Q18: The closest nebula to Earth is assocciated with the Pleiades, which is around 440 ly from Earth.

I'm prepared to stand by these above.

The answer I admit to getting wrong is number 14, . I really don't know much about the timing of meteor showers.
