12 out of 13. The one I missed, I had the atmospheric gas numbers switched. I was thinking 21% nitrogen and 78% Oxygen when its reversed. So really I could have gotten a 13/13 if it wasn't for that. Pretty easy quiz. Doesn't mean anything.

I got a 13/13. The questions were pretty basic though, and a few weren't 'entirely' accurate (the one about CO2 raising temperatures irked me due to the phrasing, same for the antibiotics one)

13/13. This was way too easy, and I am not a scientifically-inclined person.
