3. Taneekwa drives an eighteen wheeler into a tunnel. As the truck passes into the tunnel, she hears a great groaning sound above. She gets out, looks up, and sees that the truck didn’t have enough clearance to pass cleanly into the tunnel and is now stuck. Taneekwa drives an eighteen wheeler into a tunnel.

40. The Great Moon Hoax FOX television broadcast a conspiracy theory special that the U. S. mission to land on the moon never happenend. The “experts” on the program gave several examples of evidence as to why they believed that the whole trip was fake and the images that we saw were fabricated on Earth… Can you uncover the truth behind the images?

41. COUNTERATTACK: There was a video camera mounted and extended from the side of the landing module especially for this purpose. NASA anticipated that the moment that Armstrong stepped onto the Moon would be thought as being particularly significant and something everyone would want to see. As Armstrong started down the ladder he remotely deployed it, swinging it out from its storage position in the side of the module. REASON 5: If Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon, then who took his picture?

42. REASON 2: Why isn’t there any dust on the lunar lander legs if supposedly much dust was disturbed from the surface by the landing thrusters? COUNTERATTACK: Dust does not float in a vacuum. The only reason it 'floats' on Earth is because of the air that surrounds it. In a vacuum dust behaves exactly like any other object. You throw it up and it will then fall. It is no different from what a rock would do. The dust gets blow away and settles away from the lander in a roughly uniform circle.

43. REASON 3: Why aren’t the shadows pointing in the same direction if there are no clouds on the moon and the only light source is the sun? COUNTERATTACK: In the first image, the astronaut on the left is on an incline. The shadow is not pointing to the right; it is pointing downwards. In the second image, the idea is that the horizon line matches up with the yellow line. If the yellow lines were correct, then the shadows should line up but they aren't. The horizontal line in the background is just guesswork. We just can't tell for sure from this distance on a 2D image.

44. REASON 4: Why does the flag appear to be blowing in the wind if there is no atmos- phere on the moon? COUNTERATTACK: Firstly the flag had a horizontal bar attached to it at the top. This was done so that the flag would stand out from the flagpole. NASA appreciated that there would be no wind on the moon, so any normal flag would just hang limply and unattractively down the pole. The bar was also not quite the full width of the flag, so that it was slightly furled to give a 'wave look' to it.

45. REASON 5: If there is no atmos- phere on the moon, why don’t we see a sky full of stars in the pictures? COUNTERATTACK: There's really no different between the sky on the Moon and the sky during day time on Earth. The fact that the sky on Earth is blue because of the atmosphere and it is black on the Moon makes no difference. You cannot see stars during the day. The lunar surface is very bright. In comparison to this bright surface, the stars are very dim. It is very difficult to get a photograph of a very dim object and a very bright object at the same time. A camera set to take a photograph of a bright object (using a fast exposure), won't capture the dim object at all.

53. What kind of test could you do? You are an inspector from the Ministry of Agriculture and you do a night raid on a suspicious wildlife estancia to do a count of animals for tax purposes. It seems that the estancia was tipped off because all the ostriches and zebras on the farm are locked up in the barn, the lights are off, the capataz says he doesn’t have a key to the barn door, and that the farm owner is not there. There is no way into the barn but you are able to peek through small holes in the wall boards and are able to see the silhouettes of many animal heads and animal feet. Although you cannot distinguish if they are ostriches or zebras, you can still count them. You think and then say Eureka! What is your solution?

54. A student wants to find out what other students think about having an ASA dress code. He does a survey of all of high school. What is the difference (if any) between the following survey questions: What kind of test could you do? Do you like the current dress code? Do you like the current dress code? Do you want a school uniform? Do you want a school uniform? Do you believe that an ASA student should dress the way s/he wants as long as it is not vulgar or indecent?

60. MOON WRECK You are in a space crew originally scheduled to rendezvous with a mother ship on the lighted surface of the moon. Mechanical difficulties, however, have forced your ship to crash-land at a spot some 200 km from the rendezvous point. You are in a space crew originally scheduled to rendezvous with a mother ship on the lighted surface of the moon. Mechanical difficulties, however, have forced your ship to crash-land at a spot some 200 km from the rendezvous point.

61. The rough landing damaged much of the equipment aboard. Since survival depends on reaching the mother ship, the most critical items available on the ship must be chosen for the 200 km trip. Rank them in terms of their importance to your crew in its attempt to reach the rendezvous point. The rough landing damaged much of the equipment aboard.
