100% and to be honest that was pretty simple. I thought most of the questions were common knowledge (except maybe fracking I know that cause of engineering school).

Fracking (Or Hydraulic Fracturing) is a pretty hot topic in the US, but maybe less so in other parts of the world.

It is quite big in the UK as they want to turn pretty much everything north of London into a giant fracking field

Seriously, when did the issue become news fodder? Fracking is just not a word I had heard in my education.

I've very pleased to see someone else missed this question because the subsequent nearly unbroken string of 13/13 responses were really making me feel like a dumbass (coupled with my asking my wife the question and her looking at me like I'm an idiot). While the fact I'm a dumbass isn't exactly a matter of opinion, it doesn't feel good to wallow in it.
So, we should hang out! Lets go drink cheap beer, watch American Idol, and handle firearms in an unsafe manner!
I got the beer!
It doesn't get any cheaper or make firearm handling less safe than La Fin du Monde!

Really? The Unibroue beers are pretty expensive down here. Maudite is pretty amazing though, for being something produced by descendants of the French.

All mocking of the French aside, they sure know how to get drunk.
As far as the cost goes, I suppose there could be a duty tax or something you guys have to deal with. Viva Canada!

Though there was the poster that only got an 8/13.
But yeah I do agree with Silver's response, the people that are taking the quiz are most likely those that are going to do well on the quiz, and thus will be more likely to post so as not to see the outlier.

I wasn't really boasting when I said 8/13. I kind of figured I'd get a bad score so I decided to joke around a bit if the score I got was a bad one.

Depends on the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, and hydrogen would leak into space anyway after a few billion years.

78% is a vast amount, even over the lifetime of the earth a negligible portion would leak into space.
Hydrogen also reacts with most elements, not just oxygen in the old fashioned explodey way.

Full marks, quick, everyone massage my ego.
To be honest, to those who aren't overly scientifically minded/inclined, there are a few questions on there which are a bit tricky.
But you're more likely to get a scientific-y person clicking on the quiz in the first place.
Bring up an Arts/TV/Music/Anything mainstream quiz and watch me fail.
