| | | 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.
