Believe it or not, I did better on the religion one than the science one lol. 12/13 on science, 15/15 on religion. But that's due to a lucky guess on the last religion question.
I found the gender breakdowns on the science responses to be very interesting. Women did worse than men on all but two questions - one on how to design a valid scientific study and one on the use of antibiotics.
14 out of 15 on religion. I got the Jewish Sabbath question wrong. I couldn't remember if it started at sundown (so friday) or midnight (so saturday) and I guessed wrong.
@beachgal - The science one isn't bad. It really is mostly general knowledge stuff that you either learned in school or could pick up from reading the news.

I missed one on each and I *knew* I was wrong seconds after clicking next. I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself, despite that science test being really, really easy.
the demographics on the news one are interesting. The oldz kicked the youngs and middle's asses on all of the personal recognition questions - probably because they watch the news rather than the internets - but not so much on everything else.
And for the most part men beat women, again, except for recognizing elizabeth Warren and the star of david.
13/13, 15/15! Woot! I totally guessed on at least 2 of the science ones, but I'm going to pretend like they were all obvious when I show it to DH tonight.
I got 11/13 on that one. It's probably that high because of all the time I spending hanging out here.
We used to do this thing in grade school for quiz prep where 3 people would stand at the front of the class and their peers would question them. If a person asked a question they couldn't answer, they got to go to the front and be asked questions.
I never sat down once I got up. I clearly remember the entire class ganging up on me to try and stump me (completely ignoring the other 2 people up there). And they couldn't. One kid threw his book across the room when I successfully answered what element serves as the normalizing weight for the periodic table.

Mind like a steel trap, yo.
So I need to find a topic you have little to no knowledge of. You read comic books?
