12: Refraction occurs when

B. light waves bounce off a mirror.
C. light waves are separated into a spectrum.X
D. light waves are bent.

The answer is D: Refraction occurs when light waves are bent. I remember it by thinking that Snell's law of refraction is all about bending angles. The process you're thinking of is diffraction.
Still, you got quite a few right that I wouldn't've been able to answer.
Cool test by the way, NJ... it's a good reminder for me to swat up on these things .

In Dawkins' book The Ancestor's Tale, he pretty confidentally states that plants could live without fungi; though the context of his statement was more about how rubbish animals and fungi are compared to plants, rather than him trying to prove a point about how plants live. So I wouldn't be too surprised if he was wrong on that count.

Re: Phat: test 3, scores
LOL, same here. My dad's a great builder; could probably build a house from scratch all on his own. Somehow, I haven't managed to pick up a single trick of the trade .

Re: Zawinul scores
LOL, what a mistake. I should've said 'zealot', though it's easy to say that now Schrafinator answered all her's correct .
