7/10 after starting 7/7. Not bad over all, but a bad finish!

9/10 Missed the one I didn't know...#10. Crater Lake is a very scary place to visit. A number of deaths, peering over the edge....whoops

I don't remember it being that steep? It's not like the Grand Canyon.

It's not a sheer cliff, but it is very steep. If you started to go down, you probably would not be able stop, and it is a long way down.

The snow hangs around a long time, if you slip there is no stopping you except Wizard Island. I took my 3 kids when they were pretty young, holding their hands in a death grip, I spent MAYBE 30 seconds letting them look at the lake, then went into the lodge for cocoa, then left. Lots of weird stories about it.

Another scary thing about looking down into Crater Lake is when the crater is completely filled with fog. Like what Nietzsche said - staring into the abyss, and thinking that something may be staring back at you. 10/10 and I only totally guessed on #10.

6/10. Thought 1895 was too early, but 1955 was obviously too late haha.

Started out strong but started going downhill after the Disney one, just now realized I was thinking of Donald. Complete random guess on the last one.

I got it right, but only after an abnormally long time thinking about it. I admit, I was remembering the dueling piano scene in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" to help me remember who was Disney and who was not.

An easy one today. 10/10 with an educated guess on no 4.

Question 7 sent me one of those confused layman quantum physics internet dives in the middle of the night, asking whether option D (instantaneous) is true from the perspective of the photon, which is the word down the pub.

Lots of websites (and Google AI) say yes and use that description themselves, and at the same time lots of sites say adamantly no. It's all a bit Schrödinger. I'm leaning towards no based one forum I read through, and quarter understood.

Any physicists here?

(Not questioning the question btw, the answer is obviously A.)

It's all relative honestly. Yes, from the perspective of the photon it happens instantly due to the contraction of length (check out the Lorentz transformations), but from our perspective it turns that the normal distance divided by velocity works. Remember that also, from the perspective of the photon, time doesn't pass! If you want to check out something else "fun" about relativity take a look at the decay of muons; using mechanical formulas the time it takes for them to reach Earth's surface is larger than its half-life, however they always reach our surface! Reason? Contraction of time in it's own perspective.

Not a physicist but I had to study this stuff for a university entrance exam.

A bunch of people on that forum I mentioned were all saying things like "the Lorentz transformation is simply not valid mathematically for v=c... Lorentz transformations simply act in fundamentally different ways on timelike vectors vs. null vectors."

Yeah, because nothing else can reach the speed of light. Do the limits of the Lorentz equations with v approaching c and you get that both time and space are zero, sort of nullifying everything. From this you can draw your own conclusions, from what I read right now on the physics stackexchange the general consensus is that you just refute the question as having an observer at the speed of light is an invalid assumption. My own conclusion is that, since time is null in the "reference" of the photon, you can't say that it goes instantly from the Sun to the Earth as from its own reference time doesn't exist and from our reference 8 minutes passed.

I was going along thinking cockily that I'd get them all and then the last question was about sports, my kryptonite. Never heard of any of them, but a random guess was actually right for once. Phew! 10/10

It was all going good until the curve ball from Q10. My sports knowledge doesn't go far beyond general knowledge

Looks like it's time to bone up on my monotreme & pole vault knowledge. Don't know why I missed the X-Ray question, actually said the right answer out loud and then pushed the wrong answer.

10/10 and what I would consider to be a pretty decent score without a touchscreen. Was comfortable with all of them except the last question, which was a bit of a guess but I remember hearing the name somewhere and "Duplantis" makes me think of "planting" the pole lol; also, including Daffy as the red herring answer for the Disney question was diabolical XD

Super easy quiz,all of this questions I know them because of something, I learned them a little bit Slumdog millionaire style, got 9/10, thought Crater Lake seemed to obvious to be true
