Science Knowledge Quiz.
This quiz was mentioned over on BadAstronomy a couple of days ago. It's...stupidly easy. I don't know anything about the place offering it, beyond 'they didn't ask me for contact information', so I'm going to pretend it's not relevant.
I answered all the questions correctly, and it's so easy that I don't understand why anyone else could possibly get anything wrong. Yet, Females, on average, answered fewer questions correctly than males, and people of my age group didn't do quite as well as the next age group up.
These are all basic, obvious questions. Hell, most of them, you can get the answer just by having watched a lot of crappy TV -- and I'm not even talking about the Science Channel. What the hell is the problem here?
Then again, it could've been worse. The numbers could've been lower. And I think they probably would be if it weren't for the fact that some people were probably driven away by the word 'science'....
Nevermind. That doesn't make things better.
