I got to #21 before I realized I had java blocked and it wasn't recording my correct answer total.

I had only missed 2 or 3 by that point.

I took the quiz but my NoScript kept it from recording my answers. My results were 0/50. but I know it wasn't that bad. I hate to say it, but it was probably 15/50. It was a fun quiz that made me feel reallllly stupid, which is always awesome.

I wanna see Sparky's results. :)

I got too pissed off after Brontosaurus and couldn't continue.

That was challenging. (I'm a scientist.) Would like to have seen the questions cover a broader range; there was a high concentration in Newtonian physics and astronomy, and probably too many related to nomenclature rather than actual science. But it was entertaining.

32/50

I was good at the chemistry questions. Not a scientist.

I don't have time to do 50, but I got 7 out of 10 before I quit.

Could have sworn it was tyrannosaurus, huh?

Yeah, I tend to think I am fairly smart. Sometimes it's nice to get a reality check. Sort of like when you think everything revolves around you and then you look up at the stars on a clear night and realize how insignificant you are. Kinda like that.

layman, if it wasn't multiple choice it would have been much worse. I read a lot of non-fiction, otherwise it would have been much much worse.
