I thought of making things a bit more fun around here, so decided to have some quizzes and little puzzles…or maybe we could even do Kasauti for science…?
Let me know what you all think? and what kind of topics you all would be interested in?
That’s a great idea. I liked the word scramble puzzles, but logical ones would be cool too. As for topics, popular science is always a safe bet. I suggest avoiding things like computer science
A sci fi movie scene analysis of ‘what is scientifcally wrong with this scene’, would be fun. We can post YouTube clips of scene from different movies and analyze that. One who comes up with the highest number of (real) scientific mistakes will win.
Okay guys, let’s test what you know about illicit (illegal drugs). Sorry won’t be telling you how drugs are made but I think it should be fun. Answers will be posted in about a week.
