Evolutionary Regression

On a whim, on one of my favorite blogs (It's Okay To Be Smart), I decided to take the science test offered at a link in one of Joe's posts.
My result:
I outscored 93% of the test-takers.
I am not writing this to brag or pat myself on the back.
I am writing this because if somebody gets any one of these questions wrong, it's no wonder we lag the way we do in our science scores. I expected to get the score I did, because the questions are so easy, I'm pretty sure Smitty Jr knows the answers. Everyone on this blog will get 13 of 13.
Seriously: "Lasers work by focusing sound waves. True or false." That kind of stuff.
But the bulk of test-takers got between 3 and 6 wrong. And the 1% that got 0 or 1 question correct...I hope they are still in elementary school, or trolls.
Take the test.

Really glad I got 13 correct after that set up, or you would have really made me feel like a moron.
Cool, 13 out of 13. I get to keep being a scientist.

You shoulda got 14 out of 13.
13 out of 13.
Not bad for someone who hasn't had much science since HS and graduated from a school in the UP.
