I'm apparently smarter than 70% of the people who took this test....LOL.
Take it for yourself, and NO CHEATING by googling the answers!!

Too easy, boring.
 
Plus the testis flawed. Still counts Pluto as a planet so its 20 years out of date
 
The earth is undeniably flat.

The evidence for a flat earth is derived from many different facets of science and philosophy. The simplest is by relying on ones own senses to discern the true nature of the world around us. The world looks flat, the bottoms of clouds are flat, the movement of the sun; these are all examples of your senses telling you that we do not live on a spherical heliocentric world. This is using what's called an empirical approach, or an approach that relies on information from your senses. Alternatively, when using Descartes' method of Cartesian doubt to skeptically view the world around us, one quickly finds that the notion of a spherical world is the theory which has the burden of proof and not flat earth theory.

Perhaps the best example of flat earth proof is the Bedford Level Experiment. In short, this was an experiment performed many times on a six-mile stretch of water that proved the surface of the water to be flat. It did not conform to the curvature of the earth that round earth proponents teach.

Site doesn't work well on Firefox. Had to keep refreshing every few questions.
 
I am guessing its a security flaw more than anything , just poorly written code

Let me rephrase
You should not be able to do it
If you can your internet is exposed

That's what you get for clicking on one of Phil's links.

I didn't get a notice so I'm taking faith that Filippo hasn't steered me into a shit pit. For a moment I thought this was an Earthlink (Scientology) Quiz, Tommy Boy came up.

18/26...I flubbed the nitrogen question.

However, in 1870, after adjusting Rowbotham's method to avoid the effects of atmospheric refraction, Alfred Russel Wallace found a curvature consistent with a spherical Earth
Plus I ve teleported a few times apparently but falling off one side and appearing on the ohter.
And then there is the horizon and why you can see Paris from the top of the CN tower on a clear day.
But of course it does get more wild as modern science see all space as curved, as well as time. The different closks in a plane vs the ground issue
