    Correct Answer

    True or False? Rubber bands last longer when refridgerated

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated because the cold temperature slows down the oxidation process, which is responsible for the deterioration of rubber. When refrigerated, the rubber bands are exposed to less heat and humidity, which helps to preserve their elasticity and prevent them from drying out or becoming brittle. This ultimately extends their lifespan and makes them more durable.

    Within a lifetime, how many spiders on average, do people eat? (sleeping with your mouth open and the spider crawls in)

    • 8

    • 23

    • 25

    • 173

    Correct Answer
    A. 8
    Explanation
    On average, people may unknowingly swallow around 8 spiders in their lifetime while sleeping with their mouth open. This is a common myth that has been debunked by experts. Spiders are not attracted to sleeping humans, and they generally avoid crawling into places where they might get trapped or injured, such as a person's mouth. Therefore, the number of spiders accidentally consumed by individuals is extremely low, making 8 a reasonable estimate.

    A. False
    Explanation

    Banging your head on a wall uses...

    • 20 calories an hour

    • 60 calories an hour

    • 150 calories an hour

    • 190 calories an hour
