Aces Full of Links

A+ here, but some of those answers were tricky. There are 4 or 5 I nearly chose differently.

I only got 73% - a C. I think I got every single geology question wrong.

B+ (88%) ... going pretty fast and not spending a lot of time though

f*** fruit, mammals, and meteoroids

actually, just f*** mammals...preferably of your own species...

LOL, I screwed up meteoroids. And the velocity question, I can't remember what it was now because I did this a couple of days ago, but I had only a couple of minutes to take the test because I needed to get to the GS meeting, so I decided that its velocity was zero when it hit the water because it stopped -- I have no idea what made me decide whatever it was wouldn't still have velocity if it hit the water. :-P

I feel better about my B+ knowing that I also have a 67% chance of surviving the zombie apocalypse and can take up to 28 5-year olds ina fight.

That's a pretty cool site.

With all those stats combined, I think we'll be relying heavily on you when the excrement hits the fan. That is, if doomsday scenario action/horror movies are any indication of the future.

WHICH THEY ARE!

Man. I could only take 17 5-year olds. I'll have to check on my Zombie skills later.

Before you count on me, know I had to make a lot of compromises to push my zombie state - first, I counted my replica 1797 flintlock pistol as owning a firearm (it is functional, so I am technically correct). Second, I will be a heartless bastard, taking an every man for himself approach. Sarah and the kids have already been briefed.

Hey, Brian - you need to indicate that you will fight dirty and piledrive and eye gouge as many 5 year-olds as possible...that'll pump your stats up.

The alcohol quiz is good, as well...I'm 100% alcoholic.

C+

And I guess I'll shoot my eye out.

F!

B-. That's a bit disappointing given the percentage of my regular reading that involves science.

Sadly the site is blocked from work. I'll have to wait until we finally get high speed access at home (2 weeks, yay)

The quiz is a lot of fiddly little factoids. I've spent a lot of time reading a ton of shallow-but-wide stuff like this.

And some of the stuff I could just as easily gotten wrong. I'd say I was sure on 18/26, confident on another 4, and coin-flip iffy on the last 4.

Bull - Thanks for the tip. I opted to only "do enough to win".

And I managed 57% on the survival guide. I opted for ruthless as well.
