11/13, but several somewhat lucky guesses.

Nice work! Some of the numbers can be tricky.

I don't think I agree with #2 - the first papers were based on data obtained at 900 GeV.

5/13
Failed..

I had no clue on any quetion and guessed every single one, so that says something about multiple choice tests.

I got most material from the CERN website or the LHC wiki entry.

7/13 yikes.

Nevertheless, the first papers were based on data obtained at 900 GeV.

I decided not to take the test when I saw the first question and I realized it was a good decision when I continued reading other questions!

11/13 -- I guess I didn't too badly at all! :)

That is fully loaded, your brain should contain a large volume of LHC knowledge.

Not particularly -- it's just I seem to have a pretty good recall of what I've read about the LHC recently.

6/13, mostly guessing. I divided 300,000 by 27 to get 11,000 times a second (close to light speed) and of course the picture looks like a "compact" muon solenoid...

Construction started in 1998? But LEP was still down there :/

 

[Vanadium 50]

You are right - the tunnel was started much earlier. That's another bad question. However, it is possible to start building magnets before the LEP tunnel was emptied.

6, (At least I was mostly right about some technical aspects of the various experiments and what they are.)

 

[Ailson chan]

my score is 8 out of 13

 

[Imager]

8 of 13, did I beat MFB?

 

[mfb]

Nice try ;)

 

[Silicon Waffle]

8/13 is too many to me.

 

[Imager]

Nice try ;)

Fortunately, I read a lot of your posts or it would have been 3 out of 13!

 

[DiracPool]

6/13 Just passed! Phew!
