Well… I didn’t really expect to get a gold star score.

Scored a 20- 2 out of 5 correct.

Better than I expected, I guess. Nuclear physics isn’t one of the straightest arrows in my quiver.

Been sick, so didn't open for days. Most replies were actually guesses; while I recognize many of the names and questions, my memory does not provide any connection on who did what.

I, too, recognized the somewhat famous names as those who had accomplished or discovered… something or other.

I didn’t know there was a test that day. I shoulda studied.
