Those of you that like to debate global warming and evolution and stuff, how do you add up on this quiz?

I got bored with it before I got to about question 7 or so. Missed 2 of the first 7. Who gives a **** about a nanometer anyhow?

I realized about 5 questions in that this was a 50-question test and I was like "Um, no."

I have never been a science whiz. Stuff that comes easy for some people came very hard for me. The sheer amount of studying I had to do for remedial high school science courses made me never hesitate to help classmates in other subjects that I was good at. :(

I was just going to say that. I wish this were all on one page, but it's fun seeing how much or little I've dropped off since school.

"How old is the earth?" 6015 years! I love it.

84% and I'm bummed that I mistakenly clicked Watt instead of Joule, Carbon instead of Oxygen, and Trillion instead of Billion. I have no earthly idea what came over me on those three, but there it is.

i missed the Pluto one that i shouldn't have and the coefficient of friction. it's been a while since i messed with that and it just wasn't coming to me.

i really have no business missing a physics related question on a test like that...

Technically Pluto isn't a planet, so how can it have moons :P
