I wonder who chose those questions? They seem a little too simple.

One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie

Re: No Fracking Problem
All of the measuring cups that are in my kitchen came marked with metric and English.
​
The thing I liked about metric was that 1 cc of water weighs 1 gram and is 1 milliliter. That makes it really easy to calibrate graduated cylinders, pipettes, syringes, etc. using a balance.
​
It also make calculating solution percentages easier.
​
It's funny I use metric for some things and English for others without any problems. I just hate converting between them and Fahrenheit is just stupid.
