    Hey guys!

    Thought I would post ten small questions and if you like, have a go at answering them (in a single post), and see how many you get right. You get 1 point for each correct answer. If you want me to do this on a weekly basis, I can keep tally of the scores and post a scoreboard each week before hand. Let me know! Oh, and please feel free to suggest your own teasers via PM. :)

    1. A Goalkeeper of which side scored a goal from his own area against Ben Foster in the 06/07 season?

    2. Which type of heat is the hotter? Blue, red, white, orange or red?

    3. To a human, this is correct: 4 + 5 / 2 - 1 = 7. However, to a computer the answer is 5. Why?

    4. What is/was the one word catchphrase Harry Redknapp is famous for saying?

    5. Name the Lesuire Centre that once occupied Watford Lower High Street before it closed over twenty-two years ago?

    6. In science-fiction, name the robots that are capable of constructing anything out of atoms.

    7. Why does light travel faster than sound?

    Some really good and tough questions here Skyla!

    Number 10 I want to say Isle of Wight for some reason but if she was with Byron it could easily be Soho!

    1 = correct
    2 = correct
    3 = correct - A computer calculates arithmetic using the order procedence. If it's not declimed by parentheses, multiplication, division and modulus have a higher level over addtion and subraction.
    4 =
    5 = correct
    6 = correct
    7 = correct (also light travels slower through solid objects, but the density makes it overall faster than sound)
    8 = correct
    9 =
    10 =

    Just 4, 9 and 10 to go.

    If that was a total guess, you are correct regardless. Beethoven was going to dedicate his next sonnet to him, thinking he was basically god's gift to mankind. However, once he found out about all the terrible things he had done he changed his mind.

    One more guys!
