Take the quiz (you need to scroll down a little) and find out. I scored 6/9, which is much better than most. I expect Scrumple to get 0 - you'll know why once you see the questions!

If they are asking for the life expectancy of the average organism, that would be pretty low - bacteria tend to skew the figures! I think they mean humanz though.Tero wrote:Life is excpected to survive for thousands of years, if they are talking about man, the species.What is the life expectancy in the world as a whole today?

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

For me 5/9
I am kicking myself, though. The moment I saw the name Hans Rosling, I knew it would be optimistic answers. Rosling has demonstrated to the world that demographics are changing for the better.

I'm a great ape! 8/9 I fluffed the 1% solar energy. I like BG grasped that the quiz was based on optimism and chose answers as such.
How ignorant am I? Infinitely so.

I understand. I once tried to teach pigs about polynomials, they didn't even feign interest. Bastards!

Or at least he's fooled us - and the UN - into believing it.Blind groper wrote:I am kicking myself, though. The moment I saw the name Hans Rosling, I knew it would be optimistic answers. Rosling has demonstrated to the world that demographics are changing for the better.
8/9, though. The optimism was in cherry picking the questions, not in faking the answers. I missed the one on literacy.

Re: How Ignorant are YOU?
Dumb half-thought questions which would obviously appeal to the intelligence of chimp. A UN estimate does not take account of the myriad things that'll cause a population crash or the few that'll cause a sudden upsurge. Most likely a few million will be left in 2100 but the UN won't wanna know the ugly truth. 
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?
