A random survey of 1000 adults in Britain found that more than half failed a test that is given to 11-year-olds in this country. I tried it and got 8 out of 10 (enough for “top marks”). How well do you do?

Confession: I guessed on the Roman Empire ones. I bombed on the magnetism.

Yeah, I screwed that one up to. I thought that maybe the distance between the two things figured into it, so I thought meters might be involved. I hate physics.

Damn Romans! I’m sure if I’d been asked these questions *when I WAS 11* I would have scored perfect. There’s only so much information people can retain, gawd

*insert smugness here* Well, I got 9. The last question was a nasty left hook outta nowhere.

Snookums got ’em all right AND complained that the “Newton” one was wrong. (He says it’s measured in Teslas.) Damn smartypants. 🙂
