An earthquake generates three kinds of waves: surface waves (L-waves), which are the slowest and weakest, shear (S) waves,
 
  which are transverse waves and carry most of the energy, and pressure (P) waves, which are longitudinal waves and are the fastest. The speed of P waves is approximately 7 km/s, and that of S waves is about 4 km/s. People do not generally feel the P waves, but animals seem to be sensitive to them. If a person reports that her dog started barking 20 seconds before the earthquake, then approximately how far was the origin of the earthquake?
  A) 100 km
  B) 200 km
  C) 300 km
  D) 400 km
  E) 500 km

Question 2

A 200- resistor is rated at 1/4 W. What is the maximum current it can safely draw?
 
  A) 0.035 A
  B) 0.35 A
  C) 50 A

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
