    WELL. I will preface this by saying I am very tired today after only 4 hours of sleep (shush you moms who do night wakes).

    I also did it really fast before my 3rd cup of tea.

    All that to say... I'm not posting my results.

    6% of Americans, and 90% of HB - bah, don't buy it!

    8/12. Was backwards on the water boiling and the magnifying glass one. Straight up no idea on the rest I missed.

    * nobody check the math listed above, that isn't my strong suit either!

    @blackbird: Apparently not, OKAY. I don't want to talk about it. Nye & Degrasse would be so disappointed.

    @mrbee: why would you quibble on those points? All my science courses in HS and university started out by covering the main points of history. And interpretating data/events is a huge part of science. It's not just running an experiment, it's being able to figure out why that thing happened.
