| 11/12, I screwed up on the magnifying glass one. Bleh. As for boiling water at a higher altitude, I do remember learning that in school. The example my teacher used was up high in the mountains in Nepal, so it was easy for me to remember that. Kind of surprised that so little people got that one right. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| 12/12 The hardest by far was the inventor of the Polio Vaccine (didn't know that one off hand), but it was easy to deduce by process of elimination. |
| 11/12, I missed the light year question because why not. |
Haruhi ism  It's fun, isn't it? |
| This was a pretty basic test, at the same time the odds are you will never use most of this information. |
| I've been here way too long... |
Fizix said: Same Results, but some Differences:I scored 9/12 Failed on: - the boiling water question, I never knew that. - the magnifying glass question, I was flipping between two answers and went with the wrong one - the vaccine one, I had no idea 1) I knew that the Height (and thus: Air Pressure) has an Effect on the Boiling Point, I just took the wrong Choice (higher instead of lower Temperature) 2) I managed that one, because it's the only Picture that looks like having the Rays bundled and focused on one smaller Area. On the other Hand, I failed with the Question about the Loudness. I know that it's mostly measured in dB (Decibel), but for some Reason or other, I chose Wavelength instead of Amplitude. 3) While I could easily exclude Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, I took Marie Curie, because I knew she had something to do with Chemistry, so I thought she had discovered the Vaccine as well. I've never heard about Jonas Salk. |

They asked if I was a male or a female, but they didn't display those demographic results. Kind of weird. the other poster, Necromia if i remember right, posted this earlier but he deleted it now  I was going to cut out my score and re post what you circled but I forgot.

| I'm not a scientist so I'm not surprised about my 5/12 score I've never needed to know this stuff |
| 11/12 getting the boiling water question wrong. I'd like thank the Fairly Odd Parents for teaching me that Jonas Salk (and not Chompy) discovered the vaccine for Polio. |

Though I think I once got a lesson about polio stuffs so they must have mentioned Salk and I forgot. Haven't been hearing about polio for these recent years... |

It doesn't strike me as a Question of General Knowledge as opposed to knowing what Penicillin is and what Vaccinations are and how they work. Also, I couldn't do anything with the Name "Polio" since I only know it under "Kinderlähmung" ("Infantile Paralysis").

| 8/12...but I didn't even understand some of the questions because I didn't study this in English. I failed (red: my answer, green: correct answer) Which of these is the main way that ocean tides are created? The rotation of the Earth on its axis The gravitational pull of the moon I've got no excuse, I simply didn't know the right answer. I always forget this question, even in class. Which of these pictures best illustrates what happens when light passes through a magnifying glass? I got the wrong pic. I was pretty sure I got it right since I even remembered it from elementary school. Maybe that was not with magnifying glass? The loudness of a sound is determined by what property of a sound wave? Frequency Amplitude or height I still don't know what amplitude means... Which of these terms is defined as the study of how the positions of stars and planets can influence human behavior? Astronomy Astrology I know what both of these terms mean but I mixed them up. |
Szefi said: I still don't know what amplitude means Hungarian said: I don't understand shitAz amplitúdó időben változó mennyiségek legnagyobb eltérése az egyensúlyi állapottól. Jele: A. Mindig pozitív szám. Harmonikus rezgőmozgás (pl. inga, rugóra függesztett rezgő test) esetén az amplitúdó az egyensúlyi vagy nyugalmi helyzettől számított legnagyobb kitérést jelenti. Szinuszos váltakozó feszültség vagy áram esetén (ilyen a hálózati feszültség is) az amplitúdó a feszültség illetve az áramerősség csúcsértékét jelöli, ami sqrt{2}-szerese, vagyis közel másfélszerese az „effektív” értéknek. Például az Európában szabványos 230 V-os hálózati váltakozó feszültség amplitúdója 325,3 V. |

| 10/12 messed up on the tides because i thought they were a result of both the gravity from the sun and the moon so i just chose the rotation of the axis. Also messed up on polio |

| "You answered 12 of 12 questions correctly.You scored better than 94% of the public and the same as 6%." lel I'm 15 although I do admit I wasn't sure on quite a couple questions, especially the last one. Well that said I used process of elimination on the last question because marie cuire researched into radio active elements while newton and einstien where physicists/mathematicians. Also I am British so maybe that gives me an advantage :P. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| 11/12 the magnifying glass confused me, didn't know who created the polio vaccine but I knew the 3 that didn't. Pure guess on the sound one, but I had it narrowed down to 2. |
| 11/12 got the water boiling question wrong. |

| If you missed the boiling one, the sound one, or the magnifying glass one, you can be forgiven. Those all got result of under 50% correct. As for the questions and answers: The thing that intrigues me the most is how men consistently outperform women by well beyond the margin of error. I suspect it's lack of interest more than lack of education, but there could be other gender differences. I'd like to see additional and expanded studies on that. It could help explain how my (vastly) academically superior sister got a lower ACT score than me, based on bombing the science part that I got a perfect score on, even though I didn't especially prepare for it. All that being said, some of these questions aren't that basic. |
| You scored better than 52% of the public, below 33% and the same as 15%. 9/12 |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I did it a few days ago and got 10 of 12. Damn that boiling point and magnifying glass questions reminding me how bad I am at basic level physics. |

| I also got 11/12. I think the question about light-years is misleading. I got the magnifying glass one wrong (forget light focuses, not diverges through the magnifier). |
