Actual Science tests report

These are reportedly real answers to questions on Science tests:

  • When you smell an odorless gas, it is probably carbon monoxide.
  • Nitrogen is not found in Ireland because it is not found in a free state.
  • When you breathe, you inspire. When you do not breathe, you expire.
  • Three kinds of blood vessels are arteries, vanes and caterpillars.
  • Before giving a blood transfusion, find out if the blood is affirmative or negative.
  • The moon is a planet just like the Earth, only it is even deader.
  • The pistol of a flower is its only protection against insects.
  • A fossil is an extinct animal. The older it is, the more extinct it is.
  • Equator: a menagerie lion running around Earth through Africa.
  • To remove dust from the eye, pull the eye down over the nose.
  • The body consists of three parts - the brainium, the borax and the abominable cavity. The brainium contains the brain. The borax contains the heart and lungs, and the abominable cavity contains the bowels, of which there are five - A, E, I, O and U.

Want a day off from work?

So you want a day off? Let’s take a look at what you are asking for.

There are 365 days in a year available for work. There are 52 weeks in a year in which you already have 2 days off per week, leaving 261 days available for work.

Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break which accounts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available. With a one-hour lunch each day, you use up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work. You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you with only 20 days per year available for work. You get 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 days.

You get 14 days’ vacation per year which leaves only 1 day available for work and I’ll be shocked if you are going to take that day off!
