The High School Science Feud by Brujaja [Closed]

[Walkabout]

I’m not sure if I’m on time, but here goes:

1. Mitosis
2. class
3. gas
4. Sirius
5. Scallop
6. Darwin
7. Hawk
8. Igneous
9. Lichen?
10. Mammoths

Boy, there’s a lot of high school science that I’ve forgotten.

[Dead_Cat]

1. Mitosis
2. Genus
3. Solid
4. Alpha Centauri
5. Whelk
6. Marie Curie
7. Bald Eagle
8. Metamorphic
9. Fungi and trees
10. Dodo

ETA: just in time for once, so everyone else can stop worrying about coming last! Not sure I know what “symbiosis” means!

[Rebo]

@HookerChemical

Are answers disqualified if they’re wrong? (i.e. Nerf as a type of rock)

No, you get points for wrong answers, too, if they match someone. Thanks for making me look up the hippo/bird thing - they’re called tick birds. Quite an interesting relationship! The birds actually wait until the tick gets full of blood before they eat them. Ewww!

[Dead_Cat]

I nearly went with hippo/bird/tick, too, so I guess I do know what symbiosis means!

One more response needed, by my count!

9. Birds eating bugs off the backs of (some large critter)
10. Dodo

Hope I made it in! (Dammit, looks like I just missed . . . see what I get for taking a day off away from the computer!) But my answer for #9 sucks.

[Rebo]

Yes, you’re too late. But your #9 answer wasn’t bad! You matched 3 other people!

I guess I’ll go ahead and score this one. Brujaja, I’m sorry you didn’t make it in last night! I’m sure you were too tired from working.

This was a fun and interesting Feud!

blmph…

If there’s something wrong, please tell me! I need to correct the scoring!

[Freudian_Slit]

@Dolores Reborn

2. Class 2
3. Family 8
4. Genus 24
   2. Kingdom 11
5. phylum 5

Surely this is a mistake? Did you mean to be bold “Genus”? It got 24 votes.

Anyway, thanks for the feud, DC! And Brujaja. A most enlightening feud.

[Rebo]

Is that all? Whew! I thought the answers were actually grouped wrong…

[Harmonious_Discord]

I keep playing so everybody else can feel better.

I’m sorry that I failed you OtakuLoki.

[Biffy_the_Elephant_Shrew]

Wow, I can’t believe how badly I did on a feud that should have been right up my alley.

I guess I knew that people would say “mitosis” rather than actually giving one of the phases, but I couldn’t bring myself to give that answer…

@Biffy the Elephant Shrew

Exactly. Me either. (although my answer was wrong and stupid-- ???).

[brujaja]

Come on, NO ONE else said “plasma”?.. I love plasma! It’s liquid! It’s fire! Woo hoo!

And, uh, I almost said “mitosis” but I couldn’t bring myself to because it’s wrong. Mitosis isn’t a phase of cell division, it is cell division, no?

Dolores, you’re so gracious – but you go ahead and keep the spot; I know you did much better than I did.

(Rutherford! Giordano Bruno! Maxwell! … the mind boggles.

Thanks as always, Dolores!

Ivory Tower Denizen: I look forward to your science Feud too!

Freudian Slit: Mon Dieu! According to Wiki, there are twenty-seven states of matter!
**
Terminus Est:** Thank you. You’re right.
