[amal81 3]

all of them are grammatically incorrect. but if u have to pick i say 10th one is incorrect.

[Voar Tok 4]

None of them are false.

[Eastwinn 6]

Here is a clue. If all 10 of them are false then that would make number 10 true, therefore 10 of them are no longer false.

John was studying the green house effect on the south pole. He recorded - 40 degress on his data table but didn't supply the unit (Farenheit or Celcius). All of the other measurements had Farenheit next to them but not this one. Why? Tip: Scientists don't use Kelvin.

[hym 358]

He didn't use the scale type because the only way for it to be -40 degrees would be on the Celsius scale (I think anyway).

[amal81 3]

-40F = -40C coz F scale and C scale are not based on multiplication but more like an equation.

[gggg 9]

Yeah!!!

Whatever amal Saied!!!

[Eastwinn 6]

Thats right amal. - 40 degrees is the same for Celcius and Farenheit (But no Kelvin, It is impossible for Kelvin to drop under 0 degrees).

Let's see:

 

When Jerry, a lumberjack known for exaggeration, boasted of cutting down a 100 year old tree with only a small axe in under ten seconds, his friend Mac had had enough. He challenged Jerry to prove his incredible claim. Jerry was not super string nor did he have special help, even when the tree he cut down was amazingly healthy, how did Jerry manage to suceed in his challenge?

[Slowhand 0]

The tree doesn't have to be thick and large in the trunk when it's old. So, the trunk could be skinny and 100 years old and be cut down easily, even when it is healthy.

[Eastwinn 6]

Correct!

The man speaking is the father of the gentleman in the portrait. In other words, the person in the portrait is his son.
