"Most asteroids in our solar system are in a circular belt found between what two planets?"
This was a tough question? Who doesn't know this? Really, the asteroid belt is covered in 7th-grade earth science. Did some of the teams not go to seventh grade?
You're right about the difficulty on that question, JMP, but most people don't learn about Mars and Jupiter in EARTH science. If you're gonna be snarky, you've gotta be accurate...
Really? You remember everything you learned in 7th grade? You must have killed less brain cells in the ensuing years than I have. Or stayed awake during science class, which I admittedly never did.
Did at my grade school - science classes were divided into Life Science (biology) and Earth Science (everything else). It might not make sense, but you try explaining that to grouchy nuns.
I had no clue on the answer to that questuon.
And yeah, I remember everything from science in seventh grade; at least from the interesting classes like science. The solar system is such simple, basic stuff (well, except for Pluto these days) that I'm surprised some people don't know.
