Many people go through that in high school (not really needing to make any effort to get good grades), though they're often 1 or 2 per class so they don't think it's common until they get to college.
You could try some free online courses if you want to know about the difficulty and that kind of stuff. About college life, I can't really say much because things are different in every country and I'm assuming you don't live in Chile.
Here is a nice site: http://www.class-central.com/
And some physics guidelines (that guy's whole page is pretty awesome): http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~hooft101/theorist.html
Oh, I haven't seen anything related to Tintin since I was little and there was some show in Cartoon Network or something sweatdrop I'm kind of bad at deciding to watch movies, despite often enjoying them.
I know this is going to sound really offensive, but your post in that thread reminded me of 'mount stupid'

Yeah, I know that a somewhat informed guess fits in the actual definition of hypothesis, then again, we could say that every guess has a bit of information behind. We can't quite measure how much knowledge is required to consider a guess as a hypothesis or not, which is kind of why education is structured the way it is (so you have to pass the requisite classes to take a certain other course) (though I don't want to talk about my views on education right now sweatdrop ). Of course, you can learn the same things outside college, but you will need that rigurosity if you want to use said knowledge as a tool. It's like not knowing multiplication, but saying that -90456*21380 is probably close to 0 because the first is a very low number, and the other is a very high number. There is -some- logic in that, but it is still wrong because of the lack of knowledge of the basis of multiplication.
lol, I'm rambling.
Anyway, no hard feelings from my part. I'm not as harsh on people as I am on people's words.
Again, it is very good that you have interest in science, even if it's somewhat misguided.
My concern was that you -appeared- to be knowledgeable and not have doubts about what you were talking about, when you were just guessing. It's not bad to do that if you keep it to yourself or discuss it with people with similar or more knowledge than you in the subject, the problem is telling these things to people less informed than you, because they'll take you as an authority no matter what. Which gives them a wrong and confusing view of science, and may give you an ego boost of the wrong kind. Personally I deal with people like that often and it's kind of a pain sweatdrop , I don't really like that people in the hard science are seen as clones of Sheldon Cooper.
lol, captcha is 'abelian grape'.
Sorry, but I raged
