Wow, the NQ (nerd quotient) here is quite high.
I too was in the 7% group. Hey and don't forget Raj has a girlfriend now too.

Forget it! Sheldon and Leonard would have a field day with me. I didn't want to embarrass myself, so I didn't even take the quiz, after I saw the first couple of questions.

7%, but I thought most of the questions were widely known. I think Sheldon's hot. Leonard, not so much.

I thought I got them all correct but I got two wrong. Fracking I had wrong and the one about what the about the earth's atmosphere. I should have known that one but fracking, eh, I wasn't sure about that at all.

You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly.

Had to think for a minute about which gas was most abundant in the atmosphere....

Makes you wonder about those people who only got 1, 2, 3 correct!

Fracking is quite well known out here. There are recently exploited natural gas deposits the Marcellus Shale formations in the northeast. It's a method of extraction that pumps high pressure liquids into a drilled well to fracture the shale and release the gas over a large area.

They are also doing that quite extensively in Colorado, near Jim's "cabin."

really didn't even need to see the score. kept waiting for a slightly challenging question.
It would be really interesting to see how 5[sup]th [/sup]graders would do. I bet probably better than the older folks.

although that gender question at the end almost had me stumped for a second...
and speaking of gender....
I also took a moment to recognize that apparently according to the test results,
it would appear that men are much smarter than women in the science fields.
The only exceptions were questions relating to drug treatment.
