Not My Most Brilliant Morning

Slate.com has weekday quizzes, on history, culture, science, and the news; readers can get a higher or lower score based on how many questions they answer correctly, and how quickly they choose their answers. I often take a quiz of one of the first three kinds; I have never been in top place, but my scores are generally above average, and sometimes place me in the top fifty, or even the top ten.

Thursday morning, there was a science quiz, in which I, Nicholas Rosen, B.A., M.S., Ph.D., an author or co-author of several scientific papers, scored lower than the average quiz taker, which ought to keep my ego in check.

Maybe I can do better on a culture quiz; it depends on whether the quiz emphasizes Greek mythology and other classics, or knowledge of movies and rock music.
