Thread: Science Quiz - win SciHD creds / Seedbox

I've got lots of credits to burn at ScienceHD, so I'm offering up a contest to redistribute them, 25k at a time (pretax). It will continue until I have 25 winners or we get to the end of May, whichever comes first.

This will be a series of questions that may be science or scifi related (however remotely), but will generally be very hard to google. Once a person successfully answers a question correctly, I'll post the next question. Winning multiple times is allowed (up a max of 100k credits per user).

Good luck!

Updates:

I'm going to offer 1 week of my seedbox (101Mbs/500GB traffic per week) to whomever scores the most out of 25 questions in the game (1 winner per question, of course). This way you have something to play for after you max out on ScienceHD credits.



Having a ScienceHD account is not a requirement for playing or winning the seedbox, but I obviously cannot give credits to you if you don't have an account (look at my review here for instructions on how to apply if you're interested).

Question #1

1. Name the video that this screenshot comes from:

Is it the movie
Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore

Extremely close! This was from the 2nd short by the same company. Cats and Dogs 2 had this one: Coyote Falls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So then it was Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. and the short is Fur of Flying

The only reason I was so close was because I remember they announced they were going to do 3 - 3D shorts for Roadrunner Starting with Cats and Dogs Never seen the movie

Excellent work Cheesecake. Please PM me with your ScienceHD handle and I'll send the credits.

Question #2: Write an equation in the form y=m*x+b (aka slope-intercept form) which passes through the points (50,20) and (100,1). Outdoors30 and I will need this equation for a component of the lotto re-vamping (who says that algebra doesn't have any practical use?) :)

Math is used more often then one realizes

The answer is
y=(-19/50)x+39
or
y=-.38x+39

Nice work again!

Question #3:
Name all 4 scientists from this set of pictures:
1)
2)
3)
4)

Just have to ask. Is No. 3 animated version of a real person or imaginary character? Tnx for answer.
