I tried, did not think it would be fair to Google the answers LOL But Josh said it was an openbook test. :) But I really just wanted to see how well I would do on my own. :D

It is an open book test, of course. It is a test of knowledge and research skills.

 

First one to hit 800 feet wins, errrr, get all the answers right, wins.

 

Sorry for the Armageddon movie slip... ;)
