Are you scientifically literate?
Be a sport and post your score.

94% Missed the one about the stamps, who used the Doppler effect to determine the universe was expanding, and name of the other plutonian object.

A coin toss would have gave me the same results... Major ego check. I guess this is the difference between the dorks and the nerds...the nerds know stuff.

68% which they said was the average.

Some good questions, but a fair amount of name trivia. Still, not bad.

Thanks for finding this,

To be fair, there was a wide variety of sciences represented. Maybe if someone were to post a quiz about mechanics the results here would be much different. I don't feel quite so bad now for my horrible score.

I shouldn't get cocky and hit the button before reading the question trough.

Suppose that's not bad for someone with no formal education.

Interested in seeing what others come up with.
