Early Humans Final Scoring
 If you didn’t get any answers wrong, then hooray for you,
and you have a score of 100%.
 If you did get some answers incorrect, then add up the
number you got wrong. Each question is worth five points,
so multiply your number wrong by 5. Subtract the product
from 100%, and you will have your percent.
