No it does not. It simply means that I do not consider useless information in my search for knowledge.

Praise Minerva, I got them all right.

But you knew the other eight. How do they fit into your system as "useful," while #9 qualifies as "useless?"

I took it before reading any of the posts here and got a 100%. Now I can look my 4.0 GPA, taking AP Biology daughter in her junior HS year (brag, brag) in the eye

.

Without giving the answer away,Hint, hint: The last question is along the same lines as "which weighs more,a pound of feathers or a pound of lead."

100%...of course. Almost got the last question wrong. I think it might have been a question I got wrong on a chem test before. Then I remembered that the molar volume of any gas at STP is 22.4 L/mol (OR you could use PV=nRT). I was especially surprised by the number of people who got #5 wrong. You could see my comments on the other thread.

Edit: Ok, I'm bored so here's a RANDOM CHEMISTRY TRIVIA:
A Goodyear blimp has a mass of 2250 kg and contains 5.75 x 10^6 L of helium at 17 degrees celsius and a pressure of 100 kPa. Calculate the density of the blimp.

Thanks for taking our quiz. You answered 100% of the questions correctly.

Whew, I don�t mind the hard quizzes, because at least then I�ve got an excuse to stuff us, but I really hate the �easy� ones.

I object to Q. 7 because it�s hemispherically-based.

No it isn't. Unless the southern hemisphere detaches for part of the year.

I did so well & then F%cked it up on the Home Straight. Should have kept my mouth shut as usual.

Got 'em all except the last one, which in retrospect is bleeding obvious!
