From the gravity that keeps our feet planted on the ground to the movement of the tides, the weather, and the skies above us, there is a vast treasure trove of knowledge in our shared experiences. Recalling specific details or facts related to the field of science can be a real challenge, even for inquisitive minds. When it comes to science, are you a top producer in this knowledge ecosystem or just a parasitic bottom-feeder?
One person's common sense is another person's enlightenment, and that's the beauty of knowledge. To help you on your quest for greater intelligence, here's a quiz to test the limits of your science knowledge. There's never a time where a quiz isn't a decent option for passing the time with friends and family. You will need a sky high IQ to score at least 75 percent on this difficult science quiz. Are you going to prove yourself to be a science guru or get lost along the way?

Dear Quizly, In the above quiz:
“This Science Quiz will be Extremely Hard for Everyone Except Those with Seriously High IQ”, in Question 2: When asking which gas is the most abundant in our atmosphere, you wrote the following in your answer:
βThe correct answer is “Nitrogen”. The atmosphere is almost 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen with about 5% of the atmosphere being comprised of other gases. The five layers of the atmosphere are the exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere and troposphere.β
But the percentages you quoted above are incorrect, as you should have realised, because they add up to 105%!! Obviously, the total number of gases in the atmosphere cannot add up to more than 100% of the whole of it! Actually, rounded to the nearest positive integer (whole number), in a completely DRY atmosphere, Nitrogen constitutes 78% of it, Oxygen, 21%, and the remaining 1% is comprised of many other gases, including argon & carbon dioxide, and then tiny amounts of Neon, Helium, Methane, Krypton, Hydrogen, Nitrous Oxide, Carbon Monoxide, Xenon, Ozone, Nitrogen Dioxide, Iodine & Ammonia.
The percentages quoted above apply only if the atmosphere is completely dry, but, as water vapour is nearly always present, making UP TO 4% of the total volume of our atmosphere, the more of it there is, the more the percentages of all the other gases will be reduced (i.e. proportionately).
