All done?

1. The lowest scorer got a not amazing 8/20. But at least they didn't fall for thinking Pluto was a planet.

3. And while riding bikes, sleeping and paying rent are all important parts of life, biologically you can survive without them.

4. Seriously, nobody knows what the "N" in "MRS GREN" stands for.

5. Everyone felt very sad about Pluto not being a planet anymore.

8. Some were apologetic about their lack of physics knowledge.

Again: the moon is NOT a planet.

10. Our top scorer got a respectable 15/20 (despite thinking the solar system has only 7 planets).

BuzzFeed
