[small voice] does anyone want to try the science round of proposed pub quiz, you were well up for it yesterday...I promise there are only 2 or 3 rounds more to go....or shall I get my coat?

[handlemecarefully]

Same rules:

Take 5 minutes
You may confer if you have company
No googling

1)What is another name for the Cuspids?

2)If oxygen is O2, what is O3?

3)In the physics formula, power is defined as work divided by what?

4)What chemical is represented by the symbol Sn?

5)What is the 6th planet from the sun in our solar system?

6)What is the proper name for a ?Lie Detector??

7)What disease of cattle, does BSE stand for

8)Who is credited with inventing penicillin

9. Name 3 of the world?s atmospheric layers

10. Which of these foods, when eaten in the same quantities, contains the most kilocalories of energy: blackberries, blueberries or raspberries?

and thank you!

.

OK, but I'm rubbish at science questions:

1. Some kind of teeth (eye teeth)/; 2. ozone; 3. time? I always thought it was energy/time so guessing; 4. Tin; 5. jupiter? 6; polygraph; 7. don't know; 8. can't remember, think it might be fleming; 9. tempted to say ozone layer but think this might be a trick. Stratosphere? 10; blueberries (complete guess)

Ah well thanks for having a go legalien, I can't tell you how you did just yet, but it was okay you know!

I meant legalalien (oops)

I really should be doing some work, but

1)What is another name for the Cuspids? Canine teeth

2)If oxygen is O2, what is O3? ozone (btw o2 is dioxide I think, oxygen is just O)

3)In the physics formula, power is defined as work divided by what? energy?

4)What chemical is represented by the symbol Sn? Tin

5)What is the 6th planet from the sun in our solar system? Saturn I think

6)What is the proper name for a ?Lie Detector?? polygraph

7)What disease of cattle, does BSE stand for Bovine spongiform encephalitis (however it's spelt)

8)Who is credited with inventing penicillin Alexander Fleming, though didn't he discover it?

9. Name 3 of the world?s atmospheric layers stratoshphere, mesosphere and troposphere

10. Which of these foods, when eaten in the same quantities, contains the most kilocalories of energy: blackberries, blueberries or raspberries? Blackberries?

These are hard. I may embarrass myself but here it goes?

1. Teeth
2. Hmmmm, no idea, 03 was the year I saw my first eclipse but I guess that is not the answer
3. Time
4. Tin
5. Saturn
6. Polygraph
7. hmmm, Bovine Spongy-something Encepholitis?
8. Alexander Flemming
9. I'll go gor one - The stratosphere (I know the others are Xospheres, where X stands for a word I cannot remember).

10. Blueberries

Nah, you don't want to worry about getting on with your work!

1. The eye teeth/canines?
2. A phone company
3. velocity?
4. Sodium
5. Venus
6. Your mother
7. Mad Cow Disease (Bovine Spongiform Encephalitus?)
8. Fleming
9. Stratosphere, troposphere, ionosphere

10. blackberries

I reckon I might have got ONE right!

You might have done better than 1 Lapin y'know!

1. pre molars
3. force?
4. Tin? Selenium?
5. Earth
6. Polygraph
7. Bovinespongiformencephalitis
8. Jenner
9. Heavy side layer, Ozone Layer,
10. blueberries

God, I'm getting more stupid the older I get. Used to be a whizz at general knowledge and look at me now!

What about me . Ignoring my terrible spelling, can you tell me if I should bury my head in shame?

Right, haven't looked at any of the others.

1. Haven't a clue (dubious start)
2. Ozone
3. Power = work/time (???? doubtful!)
4. Sn = tin
5. Saturn
6. Polygraph
7. Bovine Spongiform Encophopaly (last word very bizarre spelling)
8. Alexander Fleming
9. Statosphere, Ionosphere, Toposhpere (not necessarily in that order!)

10. Raspberries (complete wild guess).

I would say 6 or 7 out of 10.

(ooh, I enjoyed that!!)

Sorry artichokes - went downstairs to fix an apple juice for neglected ds. You did fine. I will post answers after a few more responses.

Currently I think I am going to stick with this question set because most of you have been okay with it (so it is challenging but not too hard)

As did pooka and kittylouise (do okay that is...)

I am really enjoying these, HMC, you might have to become MN's resident quiz master! Monthly quizzes!

1. Tin
2. Uranus
3. Polygraph
4. Mad Cow Disease - Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis or something
5. Alexander Fleming

that's it, not even going to guess at the others

(did you do art & lit yesterday? I missed it and wanna have a go )

Thanks Lapin .I'm glad this is a two way street and people are getting something out of it (as much as I am gaining from all the feedback)

...but I am afraid I will have to graciously decline the kind offer of MN quiz master. It takes a surprising amount of time you know to research all these questions.(I will look at quiz organisers with new respect now). Poor lo's and dh have been woefully neglected yesterday and today!

I am working, honest...

1)What is another name for the Cuspids? Dunno

2)If oxygen is O2, what is O3? ozone

3)In the physics formula, power is defined as work divided by what? time, maybe?

4)What chemical is represented by the symbol Sn? tin

5)What is the 6th planet from the sun in our solar system? Jupiter

6)What is the proper name for a ?Lie Detector?? polygraph

7)What disease of cattle, does BSE stand for - bovine spongiform encephalitis (mad cow disease)

8)Who is credited with inventing penicillin - Alexander Fleming (my DH's grandfather was his lab assistant! DH's cousin has a petri dish of genyoooine penicillin mould!)

9. Name 3 of the world?s atmospheric layers - blimey. Stratosphere, troposphere, um...

10. Which of these foods, when eaten in the same quantities, contains the most kilocalories of energy: blackberries, blueberries or raspberries? raspberries?

You just wanted to type "Uranus", didn't you

1)What is another name for the Cuspids? no idea

2)If oxygen is O2, what is O3? ozone

3)In the physics formula, power is defined as work divided by what? time

4)What chemical is represented by the symbol Sn? Tin

5)What is the 6th planet from the sun in our solar system? Saturn

6)What is the proper name for a ?Lie Detector?? don't know

7)What disease of cattle, does BSE stand for Bovine something something

8)Who is credited with inventing penicillin Louis Pasteur

9. Name 3 of the world?s atmospheric layers ? stratosphere ozone

10. Which of these foods, when eaten in the same quantities, contains the most kilocalories of energy: blackberries, blueberries or raspberries? blueberries

Well? How did we do???? (really must get this chart thingy done before the deadline)

Squonka - I did music and literature, here:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/9/433969?stamp=071203224627

yep.

I think the actual answer is Jupiter, but Uranus just went better. What's everyone else put? ooh, mostly Saturn. I may have to google it, probably won't be around for the answers

Ok the answers:

1. they are teeth 2)ozone
2. time 4)tin
3. Saturn 6)polygraph 7)Bovine Spongiform encephalopathy 8)Fleming 9)I've lost my bit of paper with the answer, let me get back to you on this
4. blueberries
