I tend not to take much from the discovery channel, after they pulled that false megalodon documentary, very seriously anymore. It's all too possible that people were asked "trick questions" during the test. And most students don't understand that astrology and astronomy are different things, because astrology is generally not taught anymore because it's superstition and because they sound so similar they could have them confused with each other. I couldn't make an assumption until I see the actual test they were given. Even though I know there are a lot of dumb people out there they can't possibly be this dumb in today's society.
