Oh great - another 2 hours lost.

Starts real easy, gets really hard towards the end.

No brag, just fact. Took me 6 minutes to win $1,000,000 first time through. Lot easier than the quiz in Scientific American!

Well I feel like a real dummy, I get stuck at the planets. Never been interested in them and never will...

I did well on this - but then I have a science background.

One of the planet questions is pretty lame. you see a crescent of a planet and are asked which one it is! There are no rings, so you can eliminate Saturn. And there don't appear to be any bands in the clouds, so it doesn't look like Jupiter. However, Venus, Uranus & Neptune are have similar featureless appearances, so you are left to guess between them (they only list Uranus & Neptune as options). I suppose I should have tried the "ask the expert" to see if they had some logic to help decide, or if it really was just a guess at that point!
