Missed three which was better than I expected. I misread the atom question. I changed my answer on the atmosphere ? Had it right to begin with. The last one I missed said I didn't answer but the correct answer was what I had selected. I guess my test taking skills are worse than my knowledge of science which is not too good. I got lucky on a few of them as well. Neat little test. The demographic breakdown is cool.

The one on fracking almost got me. What I thought was the answer wasn't there. I picked the one closest to what I though was right. That was the answer they were looking for.

Smart old fart.

They should of given that test to some of the people in the classes I took to get my
A&P certifications. Half of the class flunked the basic physics test and 2 worked
for Boeing.
