I was going to keep going until I got less than 50% but when I had gotten through 3/4 of the sections with only one 50, I decided to finish the quiz. I didn't keep a running tab but I got a surprizing number of 90s. Admittedly, there were a lot of educated guesses and a fair number of wild guesses.
​
My one peeve is that a lot of questions of the form, "X causes Y," could be interpreted as either, "X can cause Y," or, "Only X can cause Y."
​
All in all, I was surprised at how well I did. I think I'll start my own oil company tomorrow.

But black "granite" isn't granite. It's gabbro or diorite or something.
If George advertises gabbro countertops and Jim advertises diorite countertops, who goes out of business first?
