    Do you know more about science and technology than the average American?

    There are just 13 questions. Across the whole age range men averaged 8.6 correct and women 7.7 correct.

    People under 65 averaged 8.4 and over 65 averaged 6.5

    Educational level made a difference in result. Graduates averaged 9.8, College 8.7, below college 6.5

    I think that GC'ers should do better than our colleagues across the pond. :blue thumb: Please prove me correct. :)

                        They got the results wrong! I got all 16 out of 16 questions right.


                        You did it twice?
