Test your scientific knowledge.
Okay, Einsteins, here's your test:

Are you scientifically literate? Take our quiz - Composing about 78 percent of the air at sea level, what is the most common gas in the Earth's atmosphere? - CSMonitor.com

I got 88%.

I quit at question #31. Eris is NOT named after the "goddess of discord," as their answer states.

In reality, Eris' MOON, DYSNOMIA has that honour.

Some test.

100% If you hit the back button you can change your answer. I actually only did 18 and out of that got about 4 maybe 5 right. And I was guessing. Science isn't my cup o tea.

Just didn't want to stay at the site due to who it represented.

Like I said, my choice.
