I got an A+ also, I find it hard to believe 97% of adults can't pass that test. There weren't that many questions that a person far removed from school would not know. I wonder how many wrong was considered passing?

I thought the first question was odd. There are two planets that rotate opposite the others. Venus and Uranus. I wonder if both were acceptable answers?

What is H2O? You'd have to concede that if someone didn't know that I get to call them stupid.

If you are so smart, tell us why it's warmer in the summer than in the winter.

Depends on which hemisphere and which longitude you live.

But ultimately it comes down to the tilt of the Earth and the amount of sunlight your area receives on a daily basis.

The Earth's orbit obviously isn't a circle around the Sun, and while distance from the Sun has some factor, the amount of sunlight received greatly outweighs that factor.

No.

Judging by the 3% claims already, I'm pretty sure that whatever you answer you'll get that response.

I didn't know the answer to the first question and gave up because the test was stupid.
