20/15, darn I’m good :p

OK, 9/12–considering Apollo ended before I was even 5 years old, and I’ve never paid any attention to golf, not bad…

Hey TXCherokee,

Good catch! How about a job in quality control? Actually, I was counting questions like golf scores, sometimes you can get away with a stroke or two.

10/10 = 1 =12/12 Mathematically sound. ;-)

Tomas, apparently your EE degree didn’t require any math. How could you be 10 for 10 in a quiz with 12 question? I think this backs up my theory that 5/4ths of the population doesn’t understand fractions. ;)

For the record I was 11 for 12, only because I’m an avid golfer, not an avid NASA historian.

67% (8/12) – I’m embarrased, because I consider myself a bit of a NASA fan.

10/10
Not to surprising given that 2 of the moon astronauts were from my home state of New Mexico, and that I grew up with the space program eventually getting a EE degree so that I could have some part in it.
