Yes, I knew longest bone, but question said 2 bones combined! Not happy Jan

Jennylolo · Sep 19, 2023

totally agree with others re the femur. The femur is one bone not two bones combined.

Luckyus · Sep 19, 2023

Question sevens answer is incorrect? the tibia and fibula is the correct answer!!. Perhaps the question should be which bone is the longest (singular) That being the case then I aced it as did everyone else that named both bones.

Veggiepatch · Sep 19, 2023

70% today.

One wrong due getting mixed up between the Six Day War with the non existent Seven Day War cofused with the Cuban Missile Crisis. Arrgghh!

Question 3 - WRONG! The moon has a synchronous orbit with earth. SWA to do with tides.

Question 7 - Trick question All humans generally have two legs, that is, two femurs. So added together, they are longer than any other two bones added together. That's my explanation anyway.

Do a fact check on Q3. Was taught at school the same side of the moon is always visible because Earth and the Moon have an almost equal rotation and revolution.
