We want to hear your feedback! Share your scores and discuss the quiz, but keep it civil.
@RCReinhardt No, but having Google open on another window does.
I do no research on any question BEFORE I answer it, only after if I miss it. Clearly a rarity here.
@Knightline - or maybe you are just not as smart as you think you are? IQ does not always equal knowledge!
My IQ is high and I only got 9, so how do 44% of quiz takers get a perfect score? Lots of cheaters here!!
