[Beerd]

Well if most everyone else got 'em all right, then I did too.
And I never even took the "test".

[captaint]

OK, I only got 12 right. Missed the one about Nitrogen/Hydrogen. Oh well. Hey, I didn't graduate from college.

[blackthorn]

Got 11 right.

[fouronesix]

That wasn't much of a test really. Late grade school-junior high level. At least they didn't ask if dihydrogen monoxide was a dangerous chem.

I ran through it fast, got 13 of 13 correct. My wife is a college grad, she got 10 of 13.

[montana_charlie]

Considering how well the majority scored, it seems to contrast significantly with the opinon stated in a thread in another section titled "Not everyone here is so bright"

[rototerrier]

12/13 correct, I also missed #2. Can't believe I even got out of bed today, I'm so disappointed in myself!

Took me less than 2 minutes. I got 12 out of 13 correct which I knew would be the case because I think Pangea is a stupid asinine theory.
If somebody asks me if I think all the continents were once connected, I say "yes I do, and they still are. If you remove all the water out of the oceans, you will notice there is dirt undernieth that spans from continent to continent. A "continent" is simply a high spot in the dirt, and an "ocean" is simply a low spot in the dirt" (to put it in language a kindergartener could understand.)

There is a legitimate reason for using nitrogen in tires. They are not as sensitive to changing pressures when they get hot. Part of that is a lack of moisture. Compressed nitrogen contains less moisture than air. This is one of those tricks learned in racing, and some forms of racing use nitrogen 100% in their tires. Drag racing some, Nascar most, formula one, 100%.

if your going 175mph then yes. Otherwise its a scam
