Regarding the energy efficiency of incandescent and fluorescent bulbs,
 
  A) incandescent is more efficient because the electric current heats the wire filament directly.
  B) incandescent is more efficient because it uses electric current, which is a highly efficient energy form.
  C) fluorescent is more efficient because it does not use an actual electric current (a flow of electrons).
  D) fluorescent is more efficient because very little heating is involved.
  E) the two types have roughly equal efficiencies.

Question 2

  A) it protects us from damaging ultraviolet radiation.
  B) it protects us from damaging infrared radiation.
  C) of the role it plays in keeping Earth warm.
  D) its electrical properties help to bend radio waves around the earth.
  E) it protects the earth from undergoing a harmful greenhouse effect.

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.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
