12 of 12. The question you missed almost messed me up.

Polio was the one I got wrong

11, the amplitude one, which my son got. But he missed the polio one, which isn't really about science, it's about history.

Lot of ant lovers in this thread, I see.

I guessed on the polio one 50/50.

That was weird. Might as well ask who invented the air brake. The other three were famous physicists so process of elimination saved me on that one.

Me too.

I noticed that people 65+ were the highest group to get it right - makes sense to me since that is the generation to get the mass vaccination and it was called the Salk Vaccine.

I'm under 65 but I got the vaccine in the that first mass go-around too.

Yeah, I had to double think that one, almost got it wrong just from flippancy. I almost reversed the water boiling in Denver/LA one too, just cause I was thinking to myself these are all way too easy.
