12/13, atmospheric gass got me. I was back and forth, I even knew the % that the most common gas makes up, but couldn't decide between carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

Got them all.

Gotta admit that I'm a little disappointed with some of my fellow gear-heads. These were all "gimmes" from 8th grade science....

The problem is that it has been a long time since most of us have been in the 8th grade...

One would think, as it was extremely easy, but then look at the breakdown given for all answers by gender, age, and education.

Only 31% of college graduates knew that nitrogen was the most common gas in the atmosphere. Yikes!

Then 58% of college grads knew that lasers are focused light meaning 42% didn't know.

What a useless waste of time. BTW he was in the 50% that failed.

Wonder why ??????? And do I want him working on any airplane I am near?
