Looks like out of three thousand something adults they did not do so well.

No one demographic group, not even those with postgraduate degrees, got 11 or 12 answers correct on average to get an A grade.

You can take it here.

I got 12 out of 12, I find it hard to believe anyone would score less than 9 or 8.

Glad I wasn't the only one.

 

[dargonking999]

Yea I don't think anyone cares about boiling water anyways lol

 

[Seven]

Got my age wrong.............The question should read how old do you feeeel.

 

[Jammer]

12 of 12. I did guess one the magnification one, so I did know 11 of 12 to begin with.

 

[Leadbelly]

10 of 12. Missed the magnifying glass question. Also missed on boiling water in Denver .

I mean, put water in a kettle. Put kettle on the oven range. Turn the range to H. It boils when it boils.

Polio and Magnifying glass. I knew I was wrong about Polio, but the magnifying glass question doesn't seem correct.

 

[Duane]

12 of 12 but I guessed on the sound wave question.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

It had a script error on my finish but I know I did well on it as most seemed pretty simple stuff.

Sometimes I read these types of things and they say so many people did bad and I think they say it just to get you to try it.

Even from the OP : No one demographic group, not even those with postgraduate degrees, got 11 or 12 answers correct on average to get an A grade.:

Well...not one demographic group except for some random Cowboys fans on a message board seemed to have averaged 10-12 correct answers.

It just proves we're smarter than everyone else. I would shudder to see how the Eagles' fans do.

 

[dogunwo]

Meh. 9 of 12. Missed the sound wave question, the boiling water question, and the magnifying glass question.

 

[Boom]

I got 11 out of 12. I missed the magnifying glass one. I should have remembered about using one to burn things using sunlight before I answered.

12 of 12. Didn't have to guess, but needed process of elimination for who invented the polio vaccine. Luckily they made it easy.
