  It could be that the "grade" is based on a weighted score given to
each question, rather than a simple vote count.

  I'm not going to register an account at a random website to complete
a pointless quiz, so I didn't get a score.

  I'm not sure I trust their questions anyway.  The first one, on
Internet origins, has no correct answer.  ARPANET wasn't created to
survive against nuclear attack, despite popular myth.  Nor was ARPANET
built in response to Sputnik or the Apollo moon landings.  ARPA (the
organization) was reportedly created in response to Sputnik, but
"build a packet-switched, platform-independent network" wasn't one of
their mission objectives.  That grew out of an observation that such a
network would help them accomplish things that *were* explict goals,
like improvements to command and control facilities.
