So let me draw some conclusions here:

Most people do not know the ratio of salt to water in their salt water.
Salt water weighs more per gallon than does fresh water.
Aviation fuel weighs less per gallon than both salt and fresh water.
Aviation is more inflammable than both water and salt water.
Very good!

LMAO...never saw the movie "Enchanted"

It just popped in when you said scientist and death.

Even scarier is that I remembered WHY inflammable does not mean NOT flammable...

I wonder why none of that ever comes out when we need it in the neuropsych eval!

My boo-boo question was in free association when the dork said Katherine the Great. I said she was a queen- dork asks of what...I couldn't remember and of course...move right on to next words...all of a sudden I yell out RUSSIA...three words later...LMAO! Then I forgot the words that were just asked...and dork wouldn't repeat them OR accept Russia for Katherine the Great...grrrr.

I blew Faust. WHF remembers WHO wrote Faust? I never even read it. I"ve heard it a couple of times but..... ok, you have to be into literature to remember THAT sort of thing. Give me Chaucer or who wrote Tom Jones or Persuasion. Seriously. I've read those. But Faust?

Catherine the Great. She was quite the gymnast if I recall correctly. And she had a huge gym set up with a lot of mirrors in it.

I vaguely mumbled something about discovering radiation and then said, "no, that's not quite right..... maybe it was X-rays.....no, that was Roentgen.....but she died from whatever it was she discovered.....it caused her death.....it was in the radiation field....... Nope. Don't know." So I wonder what my answer is going to look like on that one.

Oh you HAVE to see Enchanted. It's hysterical. It's a spoof of all the blooming Disney movies. Just don't ever take me to movies like that. I have a rather hearty belly laugh and people know when I'm at a funny movie (or one that's not funny but I can see where it's going and it's going to have a funny moment).

Most people get inflammable and flammable confused and think they mean different things.


They ask so many random things that I think your mind just goes into blank mode.

The only number that popped into my head when asked about light was 5280. Great. I had ONE part of the equation. Now if I could only have remembered the multiplier for it. Query: do you get PARTIAL credit for remembering that it's in miles? I knew it was m/sec. didn't throw in the "sec." part of it.

Good explanation for the speed of light:

I figured the salt water would weigh more b/c it is denser.

Years ago (before industry diluted it) you could float in the Great Salt Lake. There were picture postcards of people just sitting and reading the newspaper w/o a flotation device.

I suppose you could drown in the GSL, but there is absolutely no way to sink in it!


My brain is a sieve. Full of holes. *sigh If I hear something important, it leaks right through. Useless info somehow sticks.

Are you freaking kidding me that they asked you questions about the speed of light and Faust? I do NOT remember that being a part of my neurospych testing. What the heck does that have to do with the price of tea in China? How would someone who just didn't have that level of education do with that?

I have long ago forgotten just about everything like that, so I guess I'm sunk. I'm really afraid to have my testing repeated because I feel so stupid (pronunciation: stoooopid) anymore.
