Grimbeard Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Yay! 13 out of 13 in the science one. Mind you, question 11 should have had a 3rd and correct option, a group should have been given a placebo. Prouud of getting 10 wrong in the film quiz. Who are these people?

Boycie Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I got one wrong! But I'd like to argue that it was a ***** question. A chemical reaction, well a rusting nail was the correct answer, but I put dissolving sugar. Surely the sugar crystals are reacting with the H2O ? Obviously a ***** question, I hated science, I was always arguing with the bold headed barsteward about something or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite - sugar dissolving isnt a chemical reaction because the solution produced can be split back into the original stuff. Rusting nails change the iron to form iron oxide and can't be put back to original form. Or summat like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
