That was an easy quiz, although on #10, while I knew that nails rusting was a chemical reaction I had to stop and think whether water boiling was also a chemical reaction or simply a phase change.

I agree. 13/13 for me but IMHO the questions were basic science. Sad that so many are unaware of even basic science.
