Earth, Moon, the Solar System and the Sun

Post by Rudi »

Quiz time again.

Here are 4 quick and quirky quizzes (each out of 10).
How many correct answers can you collect between these four?

I got 31/40. (Only 1 round per test! No cheating by rerunning it again! :grin: )

1. Earth
2. The Moon
3. The Solar System
4. The Sun
Regards,
Rudi

I know for a fact that the Earth is flat because i saw a picture of it.

Besides the obvious doom on that boat....I wonder which way the prices swing on those homes at the edge? Either they will be priceless with the best possible views of the universe, or they will be the cheapest around because of the degradation of the "edge" and their looming collapse.

Edit:
And another benefit....No sharks!

Those sharks are either radical extremists or they are bungy-sharks.
