76%. Not bad I think, considering it's been years since I had it in school and my education and vocation now has no trace of natural science whatsoever :)

Err, yeah, me neither...and stuff. ;)

Now let us await the arrival of the Corribuses and Banedons of the world to put us all to shame. :)

(But I do have a better grasp of English.)

It has something to do with being on fire, if you compare it to similar words in Romanian... ;)

It's from the same Latin root word as Ignite... It's hot, molten rock - aka LAVA.

Well you are not a complete idiot, a 100% would be a dead giveaway. But you're not fooling us...

And Scar, about your grasp of english... possibly you're just very good at science? ;)

I'll give it a shot. Can't be worse than the MPRE test I took earlier today. That thing was a nightmare.

I certainly hope that was worse than I did on the MPRE. Good thing I went into law:

igneous rocks are from volcanoes (cooled magma). Like pumice, obsidian, etc.

There's a shock. But if you got anything but 100%, you'd lose all credibility as a chemist to me Corribus. ;)

And apparently I only have a 49% chance to survive a zombie apocalypse. Pretty good odds given the fact the world has proably gone to Hell at that point.
