It's an interesting quiz, most of it was pop science stuff that you would pick up if you've been following the news. Pluto/Aspirin/Tsunami's. Questions on these topics were more correctly answered than basic science facts.
It's interesting that most common correct answer was that Asprin prevents heart attacks, while the most common incorrect answer was that electrons are not smaller atoms.
I wonder why that is? It it just short memory, something you saw in a Bayer commercial vs something you learned in school.. Or frequency people talking about aspirin and heart attacks.
Would people remember the aspirin fact because it might be important to their health? Whereas most might not find utility in knowing the Standard Model.
