BillsFan-4-Ever Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I guess I forgot more that I know. I gave up I was doing so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Some were pure guesses. Others took a few moments to narrow down what I could remember or digest of the information to what I know about the other issues. Like Joule and Gamma. The thymine one was because I remembered the other one did not begin with A and was probably one of the ones that ended in ine. K I knew because Potash is potasium fertilizer which is NPK. Nitrogen, phosphate, potash. Zygote because I remember how calving works. Hubble, I did a report on him in elementary school and the telescope was to watch our universe expand. I knew Africa because the joke in HS Sociology was that we're all likely part black and racists are idiots. Quark was simply a guess because it sounded the funniest. Others I guessed wrong because I simply did not believe in my dang answer. As soon as it said Oxygen was 8th I was like "oh yeah" I remember that now. 37 of 50 right. 74% I surprised myself. I'm really not that smart. I guess I forgot more that I know. I gave up I was doing so badly. When did you graduate? Me 2000 and I had to go back to all of my schooling to remember almost all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanNC Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 84%. But I'm a biochemist dammit..what's with all the physics, astronomy and paleontology questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 86% I am shocked how much I remember from 11th grade chemistry & 12th grade physics... Biology was my weakness, I never took it and opted for Earth Science in 10th grade instead of biology. 84%. But I'm a biochemist dammit..what's with all the physics, astronomy and paleontology questions? LoL! That is what saved my butt! :-) See above!

Biology was my weakness, I never took it and opted for Earth Science in 10th grade instead of biology. I had the same thoughts. I remember what things were, a joule, for example but I have no idea what it actually is or anything like that. A lot of that I knew the answer but not what it was.

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I fully expect DCTom to come swaying in here cranking a 100%!!! Anything less is like the Bills having a 6-10 season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I had the same thoughts. I remember what things were, a joule, for example but I have no idea what it actually is or anything like that. A lot of that I knew the answer but not what it was. Exactly. I didn't think too much and just answered. The questions & multiple choices given were written so that test taking skills could be applied... The one that floored me that I answered right was: Planck... LoL... Went on a hunch... No way was I answering the German dude starting w/an H... It was obvious they were trying to trip people up w/that one. LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) 98%. I thought the suffix "-nimbus' meant "vertically developed". I feel empty that you didn't crank a 100%... As empty as the Bills going 6-10! ;-) Wow... That was a gimme question, IMO... Didn't even have to think that one through. That question is one I got right. A nimbus cloud is a rain, snow, etc.. cloud , so it must mean: "precipatating." But then again, I got a phu*ked up "problem solving paradigm." ;-P ;-P Everyone knows a nimbus means EII-like. Read my post above... ;-P You are right! Again, this was the gimme question of the whole test! Too close to home for me! ;-) Edited January 17, 2014 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
