    43/50. I did great in biology, chemistry and geology but fell down on physics.

    im in the middle of this fucking stupid quiz and it's pissing me off. a new page load for each question (and an answer to the last question) so 100 page loads when they could easily have it all on one page. this is a major pageview scam. fucking assholes. I also don't like giving the christian science monitor credit for having a scientifically informed userbase, which they dont.

    Some of the physics questions are surprisingly hard considering the publication.

    Just once. Science tests have always been easy for me. Especially multiple choice. On a multiple choice quiz the answer to every question is staring you right in the face. It also doesn't hurt to have an IQ well into the genius range.
