Science Quiz: Your Questions Please

I am going to set up an "endless" science quiz and I need questions! Just about everything goes as long as it's related to science in any way.

Post your questions and at least 3 options, and send the answer to me in a PM.

As in:

Q: What was Einstein's given name?
A1: Astor
A2: Albert
A3: Avery

Also please feel free to link to a resource where I can check the fact if you have one (makes it easier for me).

Re: Science Quiz: Your Questions Please

"Endless" simply means that this is a quiz that picks a random question from a huge pool, and goes on and on, while the respondent collects points. So when you take it *again*, you keep upping your score. Ideally you should be able to get far without seeing the same question twice.

Feel free to post the questions here for now.

Re: Science Quiz: Your Questions Please

Excellent style for putting a question though. Makes a quiz a lot more interesting if all the options aren't all about geeky knowledge.
