Must be the weird unstable ones at the bottom the table.

Well, I ended with a 98.

It probably would have been higher if I had been on the Unix NMR console with Netscape instead of Windows/IE on my desktop.

Also, I believe Assembly would be the language as its more of an "interface" and Fermium is the real element.(number 100) Beryllium is also one, but they misspelled it.(number 4)

(edit for spelling)

Well, duhhhh, we didn't need any clarification on the element. ;)

2% scored higher (more nerdy), and
98% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

All hail the monstrous nerd. You are by far the SUPREME NERD GOD!!!

Well, at least *I* didn't need clarification on the elements... I'm qualified to teach chemistry and physics, it's not my fault that I scored so highly... wait a second... I suppose it is.

And, to be honest with you, I didn't notice that girls ears until I read the choices.
I was stuck on the computer language one also... I figured either beginners all purpose symbolic instruction code, or else assembly. Don't remember which one I finally chose.

Incidentally, for you people scoring so low (idiots) :p
E=mc^2
c doesn't stand for the speed of light...
it stands for the speed of light in a vacuum. Thus, you've gotta go with 2.99792x10^8 m/s
The speed of light depends on the medium.

It'd have been better if it was "2.99792458 x 10^8 m/s by definition
Actually, the meter is defined in terms of the speed of light in a vacuum,
but it's like defining a dozen eggs as 12 eggs, or you could define 1 egg is equal to 1/12 of a dozen - not much of a difference.
<--- earning his 98 score.

Definitely not nerdy, you are probably cool.
