Well I found 8/14 equations. Though I mis-klicked some because took me time to understand what's needed

I totally failed on Star wars one... Mostly I didn't know how to spell the names

5/20

On the movies one I got 8/16. Were movies I never seen.

11/14 in 2:01

I'm with X2 on the Star Wars one.

As for the movies, my scifi movie foo is weak, I'm afraid. Only 9/16 as time expired.

11/14 for the equations.

Got the first 3 Star Wars planets then my mind went completely blank and I couldn't remember any names, despite recognising the scenes most of them came from.

75% for the films.

12/14 on equations in 1:38. But to be fair, I hadn't heard of 2 (which I got right, guessing ftw!) and got 2 wrong as 1 was unfamiliar terming, and the other was plain forgotten.

Star wars - I cannot spell them. Once finding the actual names, I got 10

10/16 on the film from pics - a proper "that's the name" afterwards

I won't do another thing where you have to type into a freetext field. There was a more interesting quiz I had to not use because that format made it even more difficult.

I'll do them in a bit, busy now.

Um... no

5/20 (ran out of time trying to figure out how to spell things, entirely my own fault)

14/16 (very annoyed I missed getting Wrath of Khan) Total recal was a bit obscure. for a while I was sure is was the mall car park scene from back to the future.

11/14 in 1:25 for equations. 11/20 for the Star Wars planets and moons--I've not seen 7 or 8 so I couldn't get any that were in those. Got 13/16 on the movies--was actually rather impressed I did that well, because I'm not a big movie watcher.

Quiz 1: 12/14 02:17, couple of guesses but I recognised most of them.

Quiz 2 2/20, out of time.

Ok, don't be hatin' on me.

Quiz 3 12/16, out of time. That was tough!

Conclusion: I haven't forgotten as much physics/maths as I thought, I'm a bit of a film buff but I remember next to nothing about Star Wars movies!

I got 14/14 with 01:23 remaining on the equations one. Only one I didn't recognise offhand was Darcy's, but hey, process of elimination.

14/20 on the Star Wars one.

9/16 on sci fi films.

Redvers Ganderpoke · Post by **Redvers Ganderpoke** » Sat, 3. Jun 17, 12:56

Equations 13/14 Darcy fluffed.

Scifi 13/16 didn't get Last Star Fighter, ET and Destrict 9 (not seen the last two)

Star Wars - 2/20 - No idea of most of these.

Todays quizzes

Hopefully interesting, not all time based for once, in fact the very opposite, which ideal for me right now, since I’ve been hectic all day so far.

you can re-do questions on these if you get them wrong, but I’m not, because otherwise everyone would get full scores. These seem a bit flaky in firefox for me, as least they do now when linked from the egosoft site.

Science - Biology - Living Things
16/20, but it just ended, no summary screen, might be my browser though.

Chemistry - States of Matter

I still only got 14/20 though

Motion (Ordinary Level)

doing this later

Motion (Higher Level)

and this..

berth · Post by **berth** » Fri, 9. Jun 17, 17:52

I couldn't get the first one to work at all in Firefox, so I had to use IE. Now I feel dirty..

Biology: 18/20.

Chemistry: 15/20. Doh.

Motion 1: 19/20. At first I thought I'd been thrown by unfamiliar units on the graph in one question but I'm sure they've got it wrong. We'll see what others think.

Motion 2: 20/20.

Any idea what age group these are intended for?

I was doing the quizzes until I got to this question.

A cyclist travels 20 metres along a track in 4 seconds.
Which one of the following statements is correct?
  ?   a  His speed is 5 m/s and his distance travelled is 80 metres.
  ?   b His speed is 80 m/s and his distance travelled is 80 metres.
  ?   c His speed is 5 m/s and his distance travelled is 5 metres.
  ?   d His speed is 24 m/s and his distance travelled is 5 metres

I don't think any of the answers are correct.

(his speed is 5m/s but surely he's travelled 20m)

Biology 17/20 States 18/20 Motion 1 18/20 Motion 2 19/20 (but that includes the one above !)

pjknibbs · Post by **pjknibbs** » Fri, 9. Jun 17, 17:54

Biology: 16/20. Chemistry: 18/20. Motion (Ordinary) 20/20. Motion (Higher) 18/20--note that a lot of the questions in that seemed to be the same as the Ordinary one, although there were some harder ones. And yes, I'm convinced at least one of those had the wrong answer, same as m'colleague above...

Chips · Post by **Chips** » Fri, 9. Jun 17, 18:03

Biology 16/20
Chemistry 20/20 (embarrassing if I hadn't)

No time for other two yet...

This is odd. The question above is what I get if I use Firefox. If I use IE, I get a different question, which does make sense and is the same one I answered before.

In fact, it looks like ALL the questions are different between the two browsers. URLs are the same though.

Morkonan · Post by **Morkonan** » Fri, 9. Jun 17, 18:49

Note: Not all get the same questions.

Bio: 17/20 (Didn't know one, one wasn't entirely legit, not sure on another)
Chem: 16/20 (doh! not sure what went wrong, disagree with one)
Motion1: 17/20 (got sloppy tbh

)
M2: will take later

birdtable · Post by **birdtable** » Fri, 9. Jun 17, 18:51

Using Opera ...No questions at all for Motion,Biology,, and got the option to try again for Motion Higher,,, Chemistry ... multiple answers were correct.... As always my score is confidential.

mrbadger · Post by **mrbadger** » Fri, 9. Jun 17, 19:47

won't use that site again. shame, it looked promising.

red assassin · Post by **red assassin** » Sat, 10. Jun 17, 00:21

Biology 20/20
Chemistry 20/20
Motion (Higher) - 18/20

I'm quite impressed by just how much it manages to get wrong in the motion questions.

I got:

the same broken speed question as mentioned above.
another which described a "distance-time graph", with axes labelled "Fad (m)" and "Am (s)", and a line with a constant gradient, for which the correct answer was "The speed of the object is increasing"
another with a graph showing a falling stone, which had reached 20m in 2s and 80m in 4s, to which the answer to "what was the average speed of the falling stone between the 2nd and 4th seconds" was apparently "50m/s" (at no point in the given graph does it even get close to 50m/s!).

There were several others (in all of them, not just the motion one) that were at best poorly worded or ambiguous. Poor showing.[/list]
