I started it, but agree, it was too slow and I quit.

But, to me this was a test of science FACT and not literacy. Science literacy is knowing:

What is the scientific method of testing and verification? (example - doing one test does not prove or disprove a theory)

How do statistics work (Example - if you flip a coin 10 times and get ten heads, what are the odds your next flip is tails?)

What is the scientific basis behind...take your pick, astrology, palm reading,

Unless people have some science education, and can understand these concepts, how can they form their own opinions on current topics such as climate change, alternative medicine? I get frustrated seeing how most people nowadays don't want to take the time to educate themselves but rather have other people tell them what to think.

rant off.
