I mean that first girl I feel bad for her. I didn't know the animal on the nickel either and would have gone and assumed eagle as well. I didn't realize a buffalo was on the nickel and I'm betting most honest people would say the same. We also live in a society where most people no longer carry change or even quite frankly, dollar bills anymore.

[@NoriMori1992]

Even people who do carry change, aren't typically examining it closely or memorizing what's on it.

[@occono3543]

It wasn't the timer era that came later, so she had time to think, and if she came to realize she didn't know she should have used a lifeline. If you need one early, you need it, and ATA usually is useless later on so using it before 1000 isn't awful. I understand not knowing but she should have used Ask the audience.

It's kinda confusing since the answer is too obvious. They make it seem like the lyrics say something that isn't obvious. If I didn't have any better guess though I probably still would've said the right answer.

The viscosity question seemed misleading the way that it was written. You wouldn't normally think of resistance to flowing as a good thing. I had to stop and think a bit since it feels weird to say it that way, at least to me. Meanwhile you definitely don't want oil to congeal, evaporate, or freeze, so it's total trap for anyone who doesn't actually know the word viscosity.

Not at all. A viscous substance is half solid and half liquid. B was the simple logical answer. It's fourth grade science. Dude looked like a fool.

[@AlexGMason]

@@vaddix9980 It's still an easy question yeah, but my point remains that if you don't know the word, there's not as much room to deduce it. The other answers sound like things you want oil to resist, while you definitely do want your oil to flow.
