Hmmm,How on earth did you get 11/11? First of all Moses didn't have anything to do with an Ark, The dude was named Noah. Secondly it wasn't loaded with "some" animals but rather pairs of all animals,reptiles and birds(he didn't feel the need to protect fish)
Now your certain! Just as I'm certain "Noah's Ark" is nothing but a childrens story and fairy tale.

10 out of 11.
Apparently not caring about the bible is a marker for intelligence.

Apparently not being a baseball fan is a detrimental factor in measuring intelligence.

You're just saying that because you're dumb.

Well, I got 11/11 because I knew that they were expecting people to get confused over the Moses/Noah thing. But that's not what the answer should be.
Quote:

First of all Moses didn't have anything to do with an Ark, The dude was named Noah.
|
Which Moses? Which ark? There's probably been tens or hundreds of thousands of guys named Moses over the course of history. And an ark can be any large vessel. Unless it's explicitly stated, why should we assume that it's talking about the biblical story?
Quote:

Secondly it wasn't loaded with "some" animals but rather pairs of all animals,reptiles and birds(he didn't feel the need to protect fish)
|
The question never states that. Again, you're assuming that they're talking about the bible story. The question never says anything about pairs of every type of animal... that's all assumptions that you're bringing to the question.

Not sure where I said I was certain about anything. Infact, I said it was impossible to be certain about anything with this question. (Although I used a double-negative, so maybe you got confused on that.)
Basically, I'm saying that this question completely fails based on a failure to definitively define the frame of reference for the question. And yeah, maybe that's a technicality. But a lot of these questions are based on catching the reader on technicalities.

First one: 10/11, missed the Moses one (I had put "I don't know" over 0)
Second: 9/11, missed McKinley (Just actually didn't know), and the runner question
Though xkcd comes to mind with some of the questions in these quizzes. Especially the question about the two runners:

LOL, nice cop! ask yourself the question why they would put moses and the ark in a test question if they didn't mean it to be biblical? you know yourself it was a slip-up question,not meant to be difficult.
Admit it, you missed that one and claimed 11/11
