150 clicks to answer 50 questions? Lousy UX.

A new ad loads each time. I think its exactly as they want it unfortunately.

I don't think they mean to be malicious and hurt the UX, I think they are just optimizing for ad-revenue a little too one-sidedly without giving enough thought to how the user feels about it.

I got through 3 questions before I said "shove it."

Kind of funny how a quiz about being scientifically literate is completely design-and-experience illiterate.

edit: Actually, it's not funny. It's the reason a lot of people don't like science. If you're going to do this kind of thing as public awareness, you should make it fun and likable. Not annoying. It puts a bad face on science.

At the end of it, all it gives is a number of question answered, a number relative to what?

Also the fact that you needed to click EXACTLY on the radio button (wasting all that space that the td > input[type=radio] occupies) and that it doesn't show a cursor: pointer; when hovering on the (<) Previous and Next (>) buttons.

Funny quiz nonetheless. I'm an avid fan of Science (Astronomy, Astrophysics, Biology and Cosmology.), but I didn't get most of the questions right. /sigh
