Simply Fucking Sad...Part 2

[Ben Davis]

Yea, 13 for me. Should be a very easy test for anyone with a GCSE-level education in the sciences and all of this is covered pre-options (at age 13/14 when you pick which subjects you want to study).

I know that most respondents have been US citizens: I wonder how us Brits would stack up..?

The gas one I suspect is simply people misreading the question. Hydrogen is the most prevalent gas in the universe, but obviously not the atmosphere. Failed more than one exam by correctly answering the wrong question.

That's certainly generous of you; however, your theory doesn't support the facts:

2013
14 Hydrogen
20 Nitrogen (Correct)
19 Carbon dioxide
36 Oxygen
11 Don’t know/Refused (VOL.)

Oh.

Um...


Oxygen?! Seriously?!

[Mudhammam]

I got 12/13. I won't lie though, I found some of those challenging, had to guess on a couple. But is an electron smaller than an atom? 47% answered correctly?! WTF!

Question: Which gas makes up most of the Earth’s atmosphere?

20% got this one right. This was the *hardest* question on the survey.

I figured that one would stump the most people, and that they would select Oxygen. I'm nerdy enough that I even remember that nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere.

I got 13/13 and only one of them had me a bit worried.
