Take a look at this presentation and let me know how many answers you got right.

I’m glad that my parents let me mess around with semi-dangerous chemicals and electrical circuits when I was a kid. Even though I don’t have a formal education in those things, I managed to get 3/4 of the questions right.

Ps: if you have some spare time then stay for the commercial. It’s pretty well made.
