The only question I got wrong was the only question I wasn't sure of and guessed at (It was the next to last question on which was the most abundant element in the atmosphere. I knew it wasn't oxygen so I took a guess from the other 3 and chose hydrogen). All the rest of the them were common knowledge to me. Looking forward to any new quizzes you send. <br />STnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-60863464439599159842013-08-23T14:12:31.501-04:002013-08-23T14:12:31.501-04:00The notion of global warming is the very thing tha...The notion of global warming is the very thing that kept me twisting in the wind on question number 12...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-3729422500794135952013-08-20T23:15:20.951-04:002013-08-20T23:15:20.951-04:00Very observant comment about a trick question - qu...Very observant comment about a trick question - question 12 asks what gas does most scientists believe causes the earth's atmosphere to rise in temperature?

But what I have learned by reading the WSJ over the years helped me in many of my answers.
