Can you get all three correct?

Alright trivia geeks:
  1. How long does it take for the Earth to revolve around the Sun?
  2. Did the earliest humans and dinosaurs live at the same time?
  3. What is the approximate percent of the Earth's surface that is covered with water? Bonus question - what percentage is fresh?
Here's what freaked me out - 21% of adults can answer them all correctly. Courtesy J-Walk blog.
(I have placed the answers in comments)

One year, 365 days give or take a day, humans have coexisted with birds, descendents of Dinosaurs for about 3 million years. 3/4 salt water, 1/4 fresh?
