The Straight Story (45,329 posts)Do you know more about science and technology than the average American?Do you know more about science and technology than the average American?Take our 13-question quiz to test your knowledge of scientific concepts. Then see how you did in comparison with the 1,006 randomly sampled adults asked the same questions in a national poll conducted by the Pew Research Center and Smithsonian magazine.http://www.pewresearch.org/quiz/science-knowledge/I got all 13:Science and Technology Knowledge Quiz ResultsYou answered 13 of 13 questions correctly.You scored better than 93% of the public and the same as 7%.Fairly easy quiz, interesting to see the results breakdown at the end.

That question threw a couple of the DUmmies off--they got stumped when they didn't see greenhouse gas among the choices.
Is it sad that I knew nitrogen is the most abundant gas in our atmosphere from watching Star Trek? I got 13 out of 13 not bad for an anti science tea bagger.
You might think it's nitrogen that is the most abundant, but it's contrail chemtrails that are the most abundant.
This is basically 8th-grade science. If they don't know this, well...Now if you can explain how a transformer works, or the decay chain of U-238, or why we have wind, well, now we're talking.And yes, I aced it. In about 90 seconds.
Why We Have Windby ChuckJWe have wind so that the VRWC can build massive windmills and use said windmills to sling blades hundreds of miles in strategic strikes against unsuspecting enemies.The End.
I see both marv and diesel driver has bought into the right-wing propaganda being put out by the VRWC mouthpieces at places like PBS, NPR, and MSNBC.Take it from me, mincing birds is only a bonus feature to help disguise the main purpose: strategic strikes.
It's quite smile to explain how a transformer works, it is built out of die cast metal with little hinges that allow you to change from a car into a robot.
I wonder how many DUmmies got the "are you male or female" question wrong.
13 for 13. I even got the questions about my age and sex right.
The age was easy, you didn't have to pick a specific age so you could estimate.
So one of the smartest people in the universe thought an explosive gas makes up most of the earth's atmosphere? Genius.
