I feel like it would be unfair and maybe discouraging if I competed against the high school kiddos, so can I still participate but opt not to be included on the leaderboard?

Hi Billuminati, it's thoughtful of you to suggest that. I still think anyone should be able to feel like they can be included on the leader board. Although skill level may impact ability to score points, I think the leader board will ultimately be more indicative of time/effort people have put in. In my opinion you and everyone else with uni experience are completely valid contesters, however you can be excluded from the leader board if you still wish.

Science quiz!

I made this for fun purposes, the content is not related to VCE science, the questions just relate to random science adjacent information that I found interesting. The quiz expires on Sunday July 25th.

The link for it is here (or go to joinmyquiz.com and enter game 1390 4198). First place will get 4 points, second will get 3 points, and third will get 2 points on the science games leaderboard.

Also if you want to qualify for the leaderboard please use your AN username, (and also as this is purely for fun it would make it fair if everyone only used their brainnot google during the quiz :) .)

I hope you have fun doing it!

edit: mods pls feel free to participate if you want, i just won't use your scores for leaderboard!
