    Which way does water go down the drain: clockwise or counter clockwise? (north of the equator)

    • Counter Clockwise

    • Clockwise

    • Straight Down

    Correct Answer
    A. Clockwise
    Explanation
    The answer "Clockwise" suggests that water goes down the drain in a clockwise direction north of the equator. This is due to the Coriolis effect, an apparent force caused by the rotation of the Earth. The Coriolis effect causes moving objects, like water draining from a sink, to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, water tends to spiral in a clockwise direction as it goes down the drain.

    I only know this because my dad insisted that we all know how to change a tire, jump start a car and change our oil (not to say we actually do it…) How many lug nuts are on a standard car wheel?

    • 5

    • 6

    • 7

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 5. This is because most standard car wheels have 5 lug nuts.

    The standard paper clip typically has three curves.

    This may come more easily to you older (yet still very young) folk since most people nowadays tend to use Ipods rather than the radio. What is the lowest whole number on the FM dial?

    • 86

    • 87

    • 88

    Correct Answer
    A. 88
    Explanation
    The lowest whole number on the FM dial is 88. This is because the FM radio frequency range starts at 88.0 MHz and goes up to 108.0 MHz. The numbers on the FM dial represent the frequency of the radio waves, and the lowest whole number on the dial corresponds to the lowest frequency in the FM range.
