This is a quiz i found whilst "scavenging"

The answers are TRUE or False but can you explain why.

1 True or False ,In space it is impossible to shed tears.

2 True or False,"copyrightable" is the longest word in the English language that can be written without repeating a letter.

3.True or False, Slugs don't have any noses.

4.True or False, Taphephobia is the fear of losing your teeth.

5. True or False, Thomas Edison,who invented the light bulb was afraid of the dark.

6 True or False, The letter "T" is the second most common letter used in the English language

7. True or False, Most Eskimos have refidgerators.

8. True or False ,An Ostriche's eye is bigger than it's brain

9.True or False ,There are no anagrams of the word "stationed"

10.True or False ,For every person on the earth there are 18 stars in the sky.

Please answer 1 at a time thanks

#10 is false. I've read many places that the amount of stars is over the amount of grains of sand on all the beach's in the world. The Universe is a BIG place

Number 8 is true ---> the ostrich has the smallest brain of any animal.

#4 is false. Taphephobia is the dread of being buried alive!

Thanks every one correct so far

#2 is false, because "copyrightable" has its opposite, i.e. "uncopyrightable". Recent editions of Chambers also list "dermatoglyphics". Both these words have 15 different letters.

Thanks Tom correct answer

(thanks for the extra info too )

Number 6 is true.???

Yes Elf it is thanks

Number 9 is false --->there is an anagram for stationed.

stationed = antidotes

Correct again Elf.....

Number 5 is true.

correct again Elf thanks

If you have more than one uncopyrightable do they become uncopyrightables , thus using 16 distinct letters?

If they now become copyrightable do they become x-uncopyrightables?

Hi ASA ..i've no idea .......

Number 1 is true because there is no gravity.

Thanks Elf correct as usual

I vaguely remember that 7's true - Eskimoes use refrigerators to keep food warm.

Yes, it's true most of them have refridgerators!
to stop their food from freezing

Number 3 is true --- instead of a nose they have a hole called a pneumostome that they breath through --- it serves as the slugs nose, and they can close it.

No 1 would be false because if you left a tear in your spacesuit all the air would escape out of it, so you need to be able to put these torn spacesuits into a shed and get a new one.

Hi Elf ...the answer i have is that slugs have four noses,
Who is correct here

Thank You ASA.....

You are! Number 3 should be FALSE.

Makoto --- I originally googled "slugs +nose" and going throught the first 2 or 3 pages of websites gave me the answer I originally gave here.
I have since gone back and googled "slugs +4 noses" which gives a whole lot of websites that claim that slugs do have 4 noses. Re-googling "slugs +nose" and looking through the results several pages further, there is also reference to some of the websites found by googling "slugs +4 noses".

I'd say you are right --- slugs have 4 noses. (Seems like they breathe through the pneumostome that I refered to earlier, but have noses used for smell on their tentacles.)

This seems to be the case from what I can find --- anybody else know something else on this topic.

Thanks Elf........
