Are you scientifically literate? A quiz from CSM
Hey all!
The Christian Science Monitor has posted an interesting quiz about scientific literacy. It’s really more about scientific trivia, but nonetheless, I had a good time taking it.

I got 41 too! Stupid cosmology questions *grumbles*
33 out of 50. I think some of them were dumb luck, though, and some were more cultural, like the classical studies related ones. I’m not that literate, but I’m willing to learn, most definitely. Though, I wasn’t the best at math
