- Chem geeks like me are distressed by the boiling answer. I guess with microwaves these days, nobody has to follow "high altitude" baking anymore.
12/12. Kinda surprised that 3 questions were missed by more than 50% of respondents. It looks like the average # right was between 8 and 9, so we'll see if e-r.org is like Lake Wobegon.
BZZZZT!
Sorry, but astrology has nothing to do with science. What was that doing in there?
Yes, I agree. I had to guess at what they meant to say on that one, too. But, to be charitable, I reasoned thatI also say one of their answers was incorrect (but I chose it, got 12/12, as it was the 'best' answer) - spoiler alert - I'll put the comment in white text, highlight it with a mouse-drag to read it:
I also assumed the notes on cooking directions would have sunk in to the general public.

A sound wave really doesn't have 'amplitude' or 'height' - it has peaks and troughs of pressure differences. Now, if you graph them, you could refer to the 'height' or 'amplitude' on the graph, but the sound wave itself does not have these things. Waves in water have amplitude, but not sound waves.

In some ways, that was better than some other 'science' tests I've seen, which were mostly memory/history tests. This had some of that, I'd prefer to see questions that test understanding of science (like the boiling point one).
