Easy Peasy Physics

Our moon seems to disappear during an eclipse...

Strange place these examiners live on. Here on Earth either the sun disappears or the moon turns dark red.

My mark, without cheating, and under 20min, was 92.5%

A few of those questions were very badly worded.

Maybe the answer isn't actually C, which suggests we spend £billions on a space mission to disprove the lucid imagination of some moron in an examining board...

Our moon seems to disappear during an eclipse. Some people say that this is because an old lady covers the moon with her cloak. She does this so that thieves cannot steal the coins on the surface.

Which of these would help scientists prove or disprove this theory?

A. Collect evidence from people who believe the lady sees the thieves
B. Shout to the lady that the thieves are coming
C. Send a probe to the moon to search for coins
D. Look for fingerprints

I say A. Their evidence might have some inconsistencies so you could use it to disprove it.

Other than that I'm tempted to take a bunch of these tests so I can put 20 GCSE's at A* or whatever on my CV. Do you think it would help me get more lucrative contracts?

I'm not one of life's great posters - but I had to find somewhere to moan about this. If I had a kid who had taken this paper I would be livid (unless of course they passed with flying colours!)

One of life's great posters is that one with the stunna scratching her arse on a tennis court.

Where are the answers? In the absence of finding an answer paper, I must conclude that I got 100% until proven otherwise.

Then you have failed. 0% for you melad.

This lowering of the bar is filtering its way down into the media.

In the Times yesterday, some bright spark did a piece on tarring and feathering through the ages, starting with the crew on Richard the Lionheart's ships in 911.

Yep, 911.

D'oh - didn't actually look at the article, just opened the PDF.

And got somewhere in between my original 100% estimate and your 0%
