I am happy to play with or without google, but Science is not about knowing the answers to everything, it's about knowing where to find the answers.

Come on OP, confirm the rules and restart this thread!

Re: Game for science/biology nerds

I don't think many remember medical terms off by heart so you do need google. For the first quiz, sarab knew what the condition was (males having XXY, which couldn't have been easily figured out by googling symptoms) but didn't know the exact medical term, as posted by queerio.

You guys can keep playing, OP isn't online yet.
