'While looking at the Hillsong web presence, I noticed a couple of strange things. The first is that with all its money and commitment to life in Australia, it has its web site hosted in New Jersey. The second is that it has registered at least three domain names in Australia - hillsong.com.au...

Last term, we were doing a carbon chemistry unit in science. The experiment involved reacting calcium carbide with water, which gives off ethyne. Ethyne and oxygen were pumped into the gas jar under water and the jar was sealed. The teacher then proceeded to take off the lid of the gas jar...

I recall someone a few years back at my school who literally answered none of the questions and obtained a credit. The teachers always said that if you really aren't sure about an answer, it's probably best in this competition, to just leave it. 'shrug' Haven't done one of these since Year 8...
