Quiz: Science In General

405 Views 15 Votes 33 Comments

It is rather interesting that many people say that they hate science, yet nearly all of us use science on a daily basis, whether we think about it or not. For this reason, most people have a lot more knowledge about science than they think they do. Of course, there is always room for more information. A quiz is a fun way to test your knowledge and the subject this time around is general science.

  2. I don’t believe that millibars is accepted as pressure’s unit, not at least to IS. It’s Pascal.

    And, the last question. Why did you put Jupiter for two times and marking as the second, actually, the 4th one as correct (they are spelled the same)?

    • Millibars are still used for pressure, as is the pascal and inches of mercury. They all are measurements of pressure, but for different purposes. From the University of Illinois, “In aviation and television weather reports, pressure is given in inches of mercury (“Hg), while meteorologists use millibars (mb), the unit of pressure found on weather maps.”

      As for the last question, even after saving the draft and making sure that it was correct, the site software changed it when I clicked “publish”. That happens from time to time, and I do apologize, though it was correct when I published this quiz.

    • There is an enormous amount of information out there, so just coming up with 10 of the facts isn’t really telling. There are probably other facts that you know exceptionally well, even if you struggled with these.

  13. You got 6 out of 10 right!
    Not so bad ..At the last question, you have 2 ,, Jupiter ,,answers…One is a “wrong” answer, and the second is correct.

    • That is the software and not me, unfortunately. I saved after each question, but the database doesn’t like quizzes, apparently, and likes to freeze or alter answers.
