Here are my results

[adman (Adam)]

43/50

[Robh (Rob)]

Hi JJJ.

Thanks for that. Always like a science quiz!

Regards, Rob

49/50 - I got the cloud question towards the end wrong. A few questions I could narrow the answer down to two options and had to guess between them.

[traveller (Bo)]

37/50, saved by my rudimentary Latin
Bo

[AstralTraveller (David)]

A lot of questions are more about history of science than science itself. With a few educated guesses I got 44. Did anyone notice the incorrectly worded question?

[mithrandir (Andrew)]

47/50 - two non-science (biology) and the cloud one.

[stardust steve (Steve)]

You answered 24 of 50 questions correctly for a total score of 48%.

And very proud of that score

[AndyK (Andy)]

Hmmm ... I need more practice.
OK at physics but never was much good at chemistry or biology.

[TrevorW]

Not bad 70% right I should have taken my first choice on a few

[mswhin63 (Malcolm)]

72% Mostly non physics question I sucked big time. although I got one physics question wrong (ouch)

[TrevorW]

Hope everyone got all the astronomy questions correct

[GeoffW1 (Geoff)]

Challenging. 46/50. Physics OK but got all the biology ones wrong. Wonder what that means

Cheers

[scagman (John)]

23/50. I'm better at guessing than I thought.

I got 70% also, and made the same error on a few too. Even got one astro question wrong.

[Terry B]

44/50
Missed 4 physics ones, 1 chemistry and the cloud one
Oh well

[TinyBlueDot (John)]

38/50...

Well, it is late.....

John

[bartman (Bart)]

30/50 = 60%
Chemistry and Biology (yet I surprised myself on a few)
A few questions there that I had first instinct on choosing......then went for a different one ( cause of over thinking) and was wrong! DOH!
But hopefully I will remember some of the answers ( like stupid nanometer grrrrrrr), and some others I will have to revist on youtube lectures.....
Thanks JJJ, BTW what was your score????????
Cheers
bartman
ps any more like that....science wise?

there are a few that might take umbrage at your classification of Biology
