  1. Why does Claire have so much shit in her purse?

She could never throw anything away. Why do you have so many girlfriends?

  1. What would happen without trigonometry?

No idea. But without physics, there’d be no engineering, and without lamps, there’d be no light.

Wow, 16 out of 17.

Very good! These 4 are wrong.

14 out of 17. 1, 14 and 17 are incorrect

She cut class to go shopping.

Now, go in the kitchen and fix me a turkey pot pie, bitch!

Screws fall out all the time. The world’s an imperfect place.

I definitely missed 14, but I would like to appeal 1 and 17.

Appeal denied. 1 is certainly mentioned and it is trig,not physics.

I’m trying to find a script to prove you wrong, but my search keeps coming up with “Porn content is not allowed.” Damn filters!

You might be right about trig. Brian does mention Physics Club at another point in the movie. Which is the one that engineering can’t do without?

But I’m pretty sure that no reason is given for Bender’s detention. Vernon does mention pulling the fire alarm, but doesn’t say that’s the reason for this particular detention. I just figured it was one of many many things that Bender did and got punished for. Certainly that day was not his first Saturday in that library.

It’s definitely trigonometry.
