Moving our quizzes

I am currently moving our old quiz collection from the old portal over to the forums, and I need some help giving the system a test.

Please click through some quizzes here:
http://hypography.com/quizfront.cfm

They are not categorized yet but there are 48 quizzes and I need them to be checked.

If you take a quiz, please post here which quiz you took and any errors and typos you find!

Re: Moving our quizzes

I took the Astronomy quiz (scored 80%) and found one error. Question #6 reads:
"How long did it take from the Catholic Church adopted Aristotle's ideas until they were tested by Galileo?"

and it should read:
"How long did it take from the time that the Catholic Church adopted Aristotle's ideas until they were tested by Galileo?"

Other than that, it was smooth sailing.

I took the "Roman Numerals Quiz"
my Score:17 of 20 (85%)
Question 20 reads:
What number is the Roman numeral '<u>V</u>' ('V' underlined)
Should Read:
What number is the Roman numeral 'V' ('V' underlined)

Other than that, it was smooth sailing.

Re: Moving our quizzes

I tried the Einstein quiz and managed 15 out of 20.

A few errors found:

#5 His parent - should be parents

#13 Friedrich Nietzshe should be Nietzsche

#17 In 1919 married Elsa. How did he meet Elsa Lowenthal, her?
the last word doesn't make sense - I think it should be
In 1919 married Elsa Lowenthal. How did he meet her?

#18 In 1999, Albert Einstein was named
should read
In 1999, Albert Einstein was named Person of the Century by which magazine?

Q: #8, Who Invented the Pencil?

A: Joseph Dixon

Dixon introduced graphite pencils in 1829. when the American Civil War created a demand for a dry, clean, portable writing instrument and led to the mass production of pencils.

N. J. Conte, in 1795, successfully produced pencils, after the later famed Faber family of Nuremberg, Germany, failed to do so, by using a pulverized graphite base to create a substandard, crude prototype of a pencil
Who invented the pencil?

His real name is Nicolas-Jacque Conte.

.................................................. .........................
Q: #9, Who invented the steam machine?

A: Matthias W. Baldwin

American manufacturer of steam locomotive. He opened his machine shop in 1825. The business grew to become Baldwin Locomotive Works, one of the most prolific and successful locomotive manufacturing firms in America.

The steam engine was not so much invented as developed. To give credit to any one person would be to steal credit away from its many rightful owners. The steam engine was developed over a period of about a hundred years by three British inventors. The Invention of the Steam Engine
(Thomas Savery, of England, in 1698)
(Thomas Newcomen, also of England.)
( James Watt, a Scottish engineer, in 1763)

.................................................. ......................
Q: #13, Who invented the steam locomotive?

A: Peter Cooper

Tom Thumb was the first American-built steam locomotive used on a common-carrier railroad. Designed and built by Peter Cooper in 1830,

After ten months' labor, George Stephenson's locomotive "Blucher" was completed and tested on the Cillingwood Railway on July 25, 1814. The track was an uphill trek of four hundred and fifty feet. George Stephenson's engine hauled eight loaded coal wagons weighing thirty tons, at about four miles an hour. This was the first steam engined powered locomotive to run on a railroad and it was the most successful working steam engine that had ever been constructed up to this period, this encouraged the inventor make further experiments. In all, Stephenson built sixteen different engines.
George Stephenson - The First Steam Locomotive Engine

.................................................. ........................
Q: #17, Who invented the sewing machine?

The History of the Sewing Machine - Elias Howe and Isaac Singer

Q: #18, Who invented the submarine?

A: John Phillip Holland (Note: Philip only one "L")

John Philip Holland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

.................................................. ........................
Q: #18, Who invented the gas mask?

A: Garrett Morgan

Morgan observed that smoke and fumes tend to rise during a fire. The device consisted of a heat-resistant hood connected to a long inlet tube that ran down to the ground to the layer of clean air beneath the smoke or gas. The end of the tube was plugged with absorbent material that was moistened before use to filter and cool air that was inhaled. A separate tube containing a valve provided an outlet for exhaled air. Science Museum - Online Stuff - Garrett Morgan

was this the first, and is it realy a gas mask, it surely was a good invension for it's time.
