Next Time You’re in Quicksand, Lie Still. (Thanks, Samsung!)

Test Your Instincts is a free (brought to you by Samsung Instinct!) quiz that gauges a person’s wildlife savvy: what do you do when a jellyfish stings, when a shark comes angling for your surfboard, or when you’re stuck in quicksand (which happens to me all the time)?

The scenarios are wordy, but you’ll at least learn something* and there’s no registration process. I fared pretty terribly. Oddly, the answers I did know were mostly culled from Captain Planet.

* LOL-worthy disclaimer: “The Test Your Instincts quiz is meant SOLELY for amusement ONLY and is not intended to be used as a survival reference guide, medical advice or for any other purpose.” So don’t go hunting mushrooms on the strength of your score.
