haha.....the real research is to find out how many people cheat

"The analysis of the findings from the poll can be found in the full report. (No peeking! If you are going to take the quiz, do it first before reading the analysis.)"

why else put a link to the answers

Of course, I would never imply that any of the fine citizens at seti.usa would cheat

UPDATE:
A quick google yielded these results

I have no patience to take the time to cheat.

Frankly, I just assume all net test are timed now, from all the time with the SETI.USA trivia game. Come play with us!
