11 out of 24... I would have done better just clicking randomly

> binom.test(11,n=24, alternative = "two.sided")

	Exact binomial test

data:  11 and 24
number of successes = 11, number of trials = 24, p-value = 0.8388
alternative hypothesis: true probability of success is not equal to 0.5
95 percent confidence interval:
 0.2555302 0.6717919
sample estimates:
probability of success 
             0.4583333

Probably not. Or at least we can't conclude that from the data. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Me too. The _NIL suffix is used in a lot of commercial names of medicine, and it seems Tolkien liked it as well for his characters.

14/24. That was really difficult.

20 outta 24 here! I knew my love of the Silmarillion would pay off someday.

I'm an American medical student, and I got this score as well, but that's mostly because they kept throwing in drugs that were never marketed or approved in the US and thankfully, they don't make us memorize all the drugs, just the generic names of ones used in America.

Yeah thats hard. I knew like 4 of them and guessed the rest. Still only got 13.
