Nice one GnuTux. :bigthup
I'm pretty sure they're a few people around here who got 100%.
I had to look up at least a handful and learned a few things in the process. :puzzled

I know Benoit B Mandelbrot mostly from the Mandelbrot but I'm still struggling with,
Quote:
22. What does the “B” in Benoit B Mandelbrot stand for? Answer: Benoit B Mandelbrot.
Is it B. is roughly Benoit B Mandelbrot from his "theory of roughness"?

I had to look up 2 & 24. Weak vocabulary, I reckon. :hehe

The B in Mandelbrot has to do with the way fractals work. They're a copy, inside a copy, inside a copy ...to infinity. I think of it kinda like a mirror reflecting a mirror.

I found this similar answer.
Quote:
3. What does the "B" in Benoit B Mandelbrot stand for?

(a) Benoit B Mandelbrot

Mandelbrot was the father of fractals, a term used to describe shapes that are self-similar at different scales. So, if we zoomed into the B in Benoit B Mandelbrot, then we might see that it represents a mini Benoit B Mandelbrot. If we zoomed into the mini B, we might see that it represents a micro Benoit B Mandelbrot, and so on.

The answer given to number 5 is incorrect. While the first answer provides the magnitude of parrot cross banana, it fails to take into account the direction (the result of a cross product is a vector). Though it merely restates the problem using mathematical symbology, the third answer would be the most correct.

Bad eyesight here even with glasses on. I thought you put 28% and didn't think that looked right. Now I am seeing it clearer.
I only got about half.
