No cheating!

If we catch you Googling or engaged in other sneakery, we’ll make you write on the whiteboard 100 times:

Hadrons, which are composite particles made of quarks held together by the strong force, are categorized as either baryons (three quarks) or mesons (one quark and one antiquark). Scientists suspect that there are other kinds of hadrons, such as tetraquarks (exotic mesons) and pentaquarks (exotic baryons), but there is no conclusive proof.

Congrats to EEW who first managed to successfully negotiate this time-consuming quiz, and to celbert who checked in 45 minutes later with enough correct answers to join EEW.


Almost perfect, EEW. I'll forgive you that wayward apostrophe and welcome you to the winners circle. You can use the front entrance.


Celbert, you can use the front entrance this time.


Congratulations, OutInTheStiks. Two of your guesses were pretty wide of the mark, but 10 were right on the button.

Incidentally, you're going to feel sheepish when you see the solution for the one you left blank. ;o)


Only nine out of ten, toothdoctor. I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave it to you to figure out which one is defective.


"princess-botherer"? I can't find that term in my Webster's dictionary....
Oh wait! Are we allowed to use a dictionary? Or is that included in the prohibited "sneakery"?


I've never bothered to define "sneakery," viewmtn. I suppose you could say that it's anything that involves an unfair advantage. Anyway, it appears that using a dictionary doesn't provide you with any advantage at all. ;o)
