1 / 5

What sport's lingo uses the term "Scrum"?

The term "scrum" (short for scrummage) comes from rugby.

What a Scrum is in Rugby
  • Formation: The forward players from both teams (typically 8 players per side in rugby union) interlock and bind together into a tight pack. 

  • Purpose: It is used to restart play after a minor infringement, such as a knock-on (accidentally dropping the ball forward) or a forward pass. 

  • How it works: The two opposing packs come together, and the scrum-half (jersey number 9) rolls the ball into the tunnel between them. Both teams push against each other and use their feet to sweep the ball backward to gain possession.

2 / 5

What was used for blood in Hitchcock's "Psycho"?

Chocolate syrup—specifically Bosco or Hershey's—was used for the blood in Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film Psycho. 
  • Why chocolate syrup? Because the movie was filmed in black-and-white, standard red stage blood looked unconvincing and washed out. Chocolate syrup had the right thickness (viscosity) and dark shade to photograph realistically as blood under the lights.

Which of these is a typical number of cold cranking amps for a standard car battery?

The correct answer is 700.  Why this is the correct choice:
  • Typical Range: A standard 12-volt car battery generally delivers between 400 and 800 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) depending on the engine size and vehicle type. Compact cars might only need 300 to 500 CCA, while mid-size SUVs, trucks, and larger V8 engines typically require 600 to 800 CCA. 

  • Eliminating other options: A rating of 12 represents the typical voltage of a car battery, not its amperage. A rating of 50 is closer to a typical capacity rating in Amp-hours (Ah), which would be far too weak to crank an engine in freezing temperatures.
