****ing, Heisenberg. It's always science or cheap Chinese vises with this bitch. :)

I did what you asked me to do, Heisenberg and took the ****ing quiz. Here are my results copied and pasted:

"Science and Technology Knowledge Quiz Results

You answered 12 of 13 questions correctly."

Here is the question I missed:

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

You answered "Hydrogen"

The correct answer is "Nitrogen"

I feel like an idiot for missing this question, Heisenberg. There goes my "A-1 day". I hope you're happy.

I'm sure you got everything right.

As others have correctly pointed out, Heisenberg it's a lame test that only shows how dumb America has gotten. Anyone who doesn't know the answer to any of these questions should be ashamed of themselves like I am for missing the question I missed.

Lloyd:

I don't think this little quiz was meant as a reasonable test of scientific knowledge. Here is my response after being forwarded this "gem" of a quiz:

================================================== ===
I'm Shocked & Dismayed!!! Don't want to seem judgmental or anything... but I'm APPALLED at the poor showing of their random sample. At first I thought their "random" sample was taken from the Ozarks or Appalachia where kids never went to school or learned how to read. This is a major indictment against the results of our education system.
I especially was disappointed at the low percentage of correct answers in MY age group (65+), were they polling Alzheimer's patients?
No wonder America is in the mess it's in. Every Congress Critter should be required to take this test, and if they miss more than two questions they should be impeached and stripped of their position due to mental incompetence.

OK, ok, let me climb down off my soapbox. I still am having a hard time believing it though. Perhaps their results were fabrications just to gauge other people's reactions? Sure got a reaction out of me.
================================================== ===

Back to real-time here. This quiz has generated enough passion in me to post it here to RCM. That's probably the first thread I've started in a couple of years.

What the listing of your answer, and the correction, will probably do is remind the people that may have forgotten, just what they learned in High School science class so many years ago.

Got that one wrong. Without googling, I mixed plasmids up with
prions. I'm not keeping up on my biochemistry. :-(

Most biologists believe mitochondrial DNA was once plasmids. 'nuff? Or do
I have to explain the origins, also?

I did a term paper on mitochondria in '61. At that time. The notion
that mitochondria originated as endosymbionts had been raised but was
roundly ridiculed. It began to get some traction in the 70s but even
then, a biochemist friend still ridiculed it. Not so much now, albeit
still undecided.

What shocked me about the OP's quiz was that only 31% or college grads
got the atmosphere composition right. Then I relfected on all the
grads I know who took the absolute minimum number of science credits
required for their degrees in economics or English or education. But
it's still a pathetic number.

Bull****.

Let me try to explain it a different way. People assimilate new information and compare/contrast it to prior information constantly and almost subconsciously.
Reading of your mistake, and the correct answer, might not even register consciously. But when taking the test they might tend to go with what "feels" like the correct answer. Not even being aware of having read your post.
And being as that particular question appears to be the one that is missed most often... it can skew the results.


"...and the opportunity for all us metal-heads to compare our

Modern metalworking is dead in this newsgroup thanks to Wieber and his

It's not an opinion it's a fact. Feelings have nothing to do with it.

"And being as that particular question appears to be the one that is missed most often... it can skew the results."

Rather than pat ourselves on the back for getting perfect or near perfect scores it would make a lot more sense to do what you did and ask why do so many miss this question. My answer is that it's not emphasized enough in school like other topics are.

"Metalworking topics may be on life support, but IMO given a little nurturing I think they could be revived."

Not a chance. Usenet doesn't attract the needed newbies with an interest in home shop CNC machining and CADCAM. That's now all gone to advertising driven forums. One day that will change and there will be advertising free groups that will be started and run by home shop machinists, probably using a network much like LinkedIn has created for professionals.

LinkedIn is now where all the best professional CNC machining and CADCAM discussion happens.
