10/12

Just finished the audiobook of the Lawrence Krauss bio. Krauss uses the 1/200 number for Challenger

#2 needs to be changed to "drawing". And I'll need a citation for #5. I know that Richard Cytowic thinks Feynman had synesthesia, but I don't believe Feynman, himself, made any such claim.

Feynam said that he saw equations flying around in all sorts of colors.

I got 8, having read the books about ten years ago.

I need chapter and verse from Feynman's mouth. I want to know the context.

'Satisfactory' 6/12 despite having read two biogs and an autobiography, his essays, QED and parts of Lectures.
But some of those fails don't worry me. Too bad sister didn't leave vivid impression on me. Those numbers were just a guess. What's syneasthesia? Why did he need a van?

I got 4 and failed.
By the way I don't know about him as he is not talked about in high school as Einstein is talked about.
Just took the quiz for seeing my luck.
2 answers I knew, other were guesses.

There is error in question 5 of "what condition he had"
It's showing the wrong answer that I have chosen but not the correct one.

Post your scores :)

11 out of 12 :)

7! Woo! I might be below average at physics but at least I'm a "satisfactory" fan-girl. :)

I got a 4, but I didn't think I knew him that well.

5/12. Fun quiz. His daughter published a book of his letters to her.

 

[Demystifier]
