A short science quiz [CLOSED]

I just found this nice science quiz. It has 12 questions, and after you're done you get to compare your results with a group of 3,278 randomly selected adult US citizens.

http://www.pewresearch.org/quiz/science-knowledge/

This isn't an IQ test of any kind. It only measures a bit of your general scientific knowledge.

My score was 12/12. I predict that most of you will get either most or all of the questions right.

12/12. I'm a little surprised, there were a few I was certain I got wrong.

You can bet that somewhere out there is a person who's brain gave that answer to that question.

This result does not surprise me at all since I am actually quite idiotic when it comes down to ”real” science.

I might give you more opinions... for a small fee of course.

I couldn't remember if it had been a male or female that managed the polo vaccination. I figured that for the time period, it was more likely to have been a guy, and it was an easy elimination process from there.

12/12. Pretty easy in my opinion, but how did so many people answer the Denver and sound questions wrong? Seems weird to me.

Guys, it doesn't matter if you don't get the full score. You know the correct answers now, so the outcome is still positive.

And as I said before, it's not an IQ test. What you know largely depends on your interests.

I got one wrong.

I got the magnifying glass one. It seemed to get the worse numbers so it fooled a lot of people but it never said why their answer was correct. I cannot figure out light flips rather than bows out.
