| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jun 21 08:09PM -0500 Mark Brader: > * Game 5, Round 7 - Science - Sharks > 1. Sharks have the most powerful jaws on the planet. How do they > differ from most other animals' jaws? The upper and lower jaws are not hinged together at the back, but move independently. I accepted "not attached to the cranium" and generously scored "detachable" -- which was not accepted on protest in the original game -- as almost correct. 4 for Stephen. 3 for Pete. > 2. How many gill slits does a shark have on each side of its body? From 5 to 7. Accepting any of these. (And this was how this one worked in the original game!) 4 for Stephen and Bruce. 2 for Dan Blum. > 3. What is the skeleton of a shark made of? Cartilage. 4 for Stephen, Joshua, Calvin, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Pete, Jason, Bruce, and Gareth. > 4. What sense is 10,000 times keener in a shark than a human? Smell. 4 for Stephen, Joshua, Calvin, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Pete, Jason, Bruce, and Gareth. > 5. This largest shark is a slow-moving filter feeder that feeds > almost exclusively on plankton.

Lemon shark. 4 for Stephen and Bruce. > has a narrow pointed snout, two pectoral fins, and a first dorsal > fin with a triangle shape. If they bite a human, they usually > will stop the attack, since we aren't really tasty to them. Great white shark. 4 for Stephen, Joshua, Dan Tilque, and Gareth. 3 for Calvin. > Canadian provinces and territories and said Alberta, Manitoba, > and the Northwest Territories, the answer would be Saskatchewan. > 1. Utah, Idaho, Oregon. Nevada. 4 for Stephen, Joshua, Dan Tilque, Peter, Pete, Jason, and Erland. Wyoming does not border Oregon. Nebraska does not border any one of the three states named. > 2. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois. Iowa. 4 for Stephen, Joshua, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Pete, Jason, and Bruce. Neither Ohio nor Michigan nor Indiana has a land border with Minnesota, and Ohio doesn't border Wisconsin or Illinois either. The reason the preamble specified land borders is that if water borders count, then Michigan *is* another correct answer. It has borders with Illinois in L. Michigan and with Minnesota in L. Superior. See: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuMW0kxZS3r-n1DD1_UzzYAobIBHhN-j1iPIROr1ZT4CG7iB8Nml-brzrIg0JJkN-k-oKyOMRxN-ArC0wKtrYdiZaE02kxaJrSSgEcFtbsS7DHgwADpumjDRzUV2nutFbRW05DOQNR2_cK/s1600/newmidwest.gif In the original game there was no such specification and the answer Michigan was accepted on protest. > 3. New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware. New Jersey. 4 for Stephen, Joshua, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Peter, Pete, Erland, Bruce, and Gareth. Maryland does not border New York. > 4. South Dakota, Colorado, Iowa. Nebraska. 4 for Stephen, Joshua, Calvin, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Peter, Pete, Erland, and Bruce. 2 for Gareth. Wyoming does not border Iowa. Oregon does not border any one of the three states named. > 5. Indiana, Ohio, Illinois. Kentucky. 4 for Stephen, Joshua, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Pete, Jason, Erland, and Bruce. Again, Michigan would be only correct if we counted the water border in L. Michigan with Illinois. West Virginia does not border Illinois or Indiana, and Kansas does not border any one of the three states named. > 6. Kansas, Illinois, Oklahoma. Missouri. 4 for Stephen, Joshua, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Peter, Pete, Jason, Erland, and Bruce. Nebraska does not border either Illinois or Oklahoma. Neither Ohio nor Indiana borders any one of the three states named. > 7. Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas. New Mexico. 4 for Stephen, Joshua, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Peter, Pete, Jason, and Bruce. 2 for Gareth. Kansas does not border Texas. Missouri does not border Texas or Oklahoma. And Nevada does not border any one of the three states named. > 8. West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana. Ohio. 4 for Stephen, Joshua, Dan Tilque, Pete, Erland, and Bruce. 3 for Calvin. Illinois does not border West Virginia. Tennessee does not border West Virginia or Ohio. Virginia does not border Indiana. Mississippi does not border any one of the three states named. > 9. Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky. West Virginia. 4 for Stephen, Joshua, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Pete, and Bruce. Pennsylvania does not border Kentucky. Virginia does not border Ohio. Tennessee does not border Ohio or Maryland. Louisiana does not border any one of the three states named. > 10. Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee. Arkansas. 4 for Stephen, Joshua, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Peter, Pete, Jason, Erland, and Bruce. Alabama does not border Louisiana. Missouri does not border Louisiana or Mississippi. West Virigina does not border any one of the three states named. But on all these questions, I applaud the spirit of guessing.
