12/13. Nooo, I got the fracking question wrong!!
got everything right.
thankfully saw a documentation about fracking last week or so or I wouldn't have been able to answer it. It's really uncommon in Europe.
I nearly messed up (It has to be Nitrogen, come on brain!), but got 13/13 as well. I wonder how much the board will skew results with everyone getting 11 or higher (and many 13s).

More likely they've just forgotten. That would explain why the oldest demographic consistently performs worst on the questions. |
It's like the "are you smarter than a 5th grader" show.
They are asking fifth graders questions that they are learning at the moment, meanwhile asking adults quesitons that they havne't seen in 30 years.
I think the school systems should look at that show and realize, "why the F are we teaching these kids these things when they never use them the rest of their life" These Doctors, and so on other smart college graduates who are considered the smartest proffesions in the world dont' seem to remember a damn thing taught to them in the 5th grade.
The criteria needs to change.

It's huge in the UK. It's just uncommon in Germany because your government refuses to accept the usefulness of anything that isn't renewable, as we can see from their ridiculous stance on nuclear power.
13/13! (Which American?)
Only got the fracking one because there was a story about it on the BBC recently, and I remembered the word because it was funny..
Which gas makes up most of the Earth's atmosphere?
You answered "Oxygen"
The correct answer is "Nitrogen"
:((((
12 of 13 though

"ridiculous" huh?
Isn't it more ridiculous to do something that produces highly toxic wastes which take thousends to millions of years to become safe for organisms to get in contact to without having any means to store them safely for more than 50 years? Just operating on the train of thought "well, maybe in the future we'll find a way to use or atleast store the shit" ?

From what I've seen it contaminates the ground water, by letting the gases escape into it.

this test does not meassures how smart you are, it just only meassures how much knowledge you have. That is why a college graduates have more chance to have them all right.
oh, and 13/13 by the way.
