Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

I had to guess on the magnifying glass question but I got it right for 12/12.

A Look at What the Public Knows and Does Not Know About Science

Before you read the report, test your science knowledge by taking the interactive quiz. The short quiz tests your knowledge of questions recently asked in a national poll. After completing the quiz, you can compare your score with the general public and with people like yourself.

You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I don't understand what's gone wrong with it. - George Hanson, 1969

I got 10 out of 12. Too much thinking about the question on the boiling point and not enough on the magnifying glass question. A big "Delta Sierra" for me!

An Aircraft Mechanic only needs two tools, Duct Tape and WD40.
If it moves and it's not supposed to - use the Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and it's supposed to - use the WD40.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

That's pretty bad considering the first question is usually "YOUR NAME _________________" :lol:
