BobKC,
Those questions are way over the head of most. Ever watch Jay Leno's
"Jay Walking" when he goes out on the street and asks basic questions?
Jay: Who was the first President of the United States?
Person on the street: "Oh gee, its on the tip of my tongue........."
Jay: Who was the tall black guy on Welcome Back Kotter?
Person: Boom Boom Washington!
Jay: Ok, who was the first President of the United States?
Person: Oh gee, I know I should know this........
Jay: What do you do for a living?
Person: I am a school teacher.
Here are some questions from my high school chemistry final exam and my
actual answers.
1. Name Four Types of Bonds
Corporate, Savings, Convertible, and Treasury
2. Name Four States In Which Matter Exists
(being from Indiana I wrote) Indiana, Illinois, Ohio & Kentucky
3. Draw a diagram of one unit of a Diamond
I drew a carrot.
Cheers,
Norman
