Science Quiz: Your Questions Please

[Tormod]

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).

Bump!

sounds cool, how do you mean endless? and is this for hypo?

[freeztar]

Should these questions be PM'd to you?

[Tormod]

"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.

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