The test is wrong as the music notes were the same note not because they sound the same but because they are an octave higher.

No, the point is, they were actually the same note. As in, if you played the first one and then the second one you wouldn't hear a difference at all. You only thought they were octaves because you heard a major scale in between.

14/20 here.

I swear I saw a BBC documentary telling me that your sense of taste comes mainly from your nose, not how many taste-buds you have. Meh. :rolleyes:

I swear I saw a BBC documentary telling me that your sense of taste comes mainly from your nose, not how many taste-buds you have.Supposedly, if you pinch your nose and wear a blindfold, you can't tell for sure if you are eating an apple or an onion. Does anybody volunteer to test it?

It should still be possible to tell an Apple computer from an Onion computer.

I think apple and potato would probably be more realistic. Remember, even if you can't taste it, an onion's textured pretty differently from an apple.

:D That's an easy one, just open them up.

What's on the inside? An Intel chip or... more layers?

Which one would make you cry more though?

The chocolate one is wrong. White chocolate is good with and for nothing.

I only got 10 out of 20. Sort of went through it in a hurry without thinking too much about it though... (I know, excuses, excuses!)

So THAT's why parmesean cheese smells like vomit! (Should I be worried that I love the taste of it anyway?? :eek: )
