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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
