I took this quiz a got 10/10. The questions are elementary. I am new to photography and forget much. Only know from reading. No formal instruction. This test would not come close to challenging most of the photographers here. So it was fun to pass the quiz anyway. I don’t feel like I have any reason to gloat.

My sentiments exactly and I was even wondering whether or not to post. But then I thought why not quizzes are fun.

I got the 100 percent too. Seems the prize is a pat-on-the-back...although a figurative, not literal one.What is the prize for 100 Percent

I got the last question wrong...90% is still an 'A' in most classes. Besides, I thought the answer choices were too similar.

"turns out, there is nothing in the world of photography that you don’t know."
Wow! I know everything. I guess my mother was right. I am a know-it-all.

Not being booted off UHH! This was a click-bait quiz not a real test of knowledge. The last question was very poorly constructed and both responses are correct. Some of the others are a little sloppy, but barrel distortion is a subset of lens distortion, and wide angle lenses come in more than one type, fish eye and rectilinear, where rectilinear designs attempt to correct for curvature of perspective (straight lines as straight lines) where fish eye lenses do not correct, so straight lines frequently are projected as curves.
So a 90% score should be considered a perfect pass, and the test gets a fail. Sadly, no prizes, except a ding on Macphun for poor quality testing and marketing. Macphun is the loser here, they have exposed a weakness.

Everyone here ought to score 100%, However some of the questions like "The hole within a lens, through which light travels into the camera body is known as:" It is know as a broken lens! The aperture is an opening in the iris. It is not a hole in the lens. And barrel distortion is a particular type of lens distortion. I still scored 100, but it does not impress me that I did. I think the quiz was written by someone with a passing to weak knowledge of photography, survey construction and the English language.

To paraphrase "Beyond the Fringe"
"I could’ve been a judge, but I never ‘ad the Latin… I never ‘ad the
Latin to get through the rigorous judging exams. They’re very
rigorous, the judging exams, very rigorous indeed. They’re noted for their rigor. People come out of them saying, “My God, what a rigorous exam!” And so I become a miner photographer instead. I managed to get through the mining photographer exams. They’re not very rigorous. They’re no rigor involved really. There’s a complete lack of rigor involved in the mining photographer exams.
They only ask you one question. They say, “Who are you?” And I got 75 percent on that."

During a stint as a military recruiter, I encountered a young man who wanted to enlist. First question, "How do you spell your last name." He pulled out his driver's license. 
True story.
