I don't want to give too much away (I also got 12/12) but it seems to me that as backpackers, we have a slight advantage over the general public in this quiz, specifically at question #6.
That said, it's pretty sad that a perfect score gets you into the top 6%....

I thought Newton was the one who shot the polio off of Galileo's head with a slingshot.

Yeah, but I'm not sure that he took atmospheric resistance into account. Terminal velocity wouldn't have been an issue.
Newton, Leibniz, Fermat, Euler, the Bernoullis, Riemann... darn smart people.

12 out of 12. Though I have to ask why is there an astrology question in the mix?
