You have now come to the end of the test. Below is the answer key:
1. The answer is ATP standing for adenosine triphosphate. In the same way, ADP is adenosine diphosphate.
2. The great cartoonist who was a loser child was none other than Charles Schultz. The main character of his comic strip Peanuts, Charlie Brown, is Schultz's self image, the kid who could never kick a football, who failed in every subject, and whose drawings were equivalent to those of a preschooler's
3. The geometric symbol for if and only if is iff. All those in Geometry should get this right, but if you are not in Geometry and you got this right, I commend you.
4. This question is just plain silly, and if you did not get this right, you are nonexistent. Besides, all are true. A scientist would call a pool in a desert and oasis, a cynic would call it a mirage, most normal people would call it a relief, and anyone smart would refrain from analyzing it and just go ahead and drink it.
5. To know this question, you have to be in Spanish, if you are not in Spanish, then you have a 50/50 chance, and if you are smart enough to compare Spanish to English, you will get the right answer which is a) yes.
6. This question is difficult to those who do not read Garfield. Odie and Nermal are stupid answers that no one should pick. Teddy might be a choice, but this is wrong. The correct answer is Pooky, an answer that should be obvious to all Garfield fans.
7. This is another question where you have to have played the game to get this. Longboat would be the historically accurate answer, but this is only part of the answer. Berserk is an answer that rarely comes to mind, but this is also part of the answer. the correct answer is both A and B.
8. This question is one of the tougher ones. the bridge to the analogy is two school terms, Jock and Nerd, to their adult living counterparts. This rules out Archimedes and Plato, because though they were both nerds, they are not alive. as much as you would like to say that I am the nerd, I am not an adult, so that rules me out. the only remaining one that fits all categories is Bill Gates.
9. This is a question when you either know it or don't. Mr. House's first name is actually Arthur, but he goes by Art.
10. This is a difficult question that is a test of vocabulary. The definition rules out Decorate and Beautify because you cannot do this to a biography. Endear has a completely different meaning, so Embellish is the only possibility.
