I know about "A brief history of time", "My brief history", "The Grand design", "Lou Gehrig disease", "Hawking radiation", but none of them comes out, only guessing in Harry Potter question.1 out of 12.Hm…, :frown:

Since each question has 4 options, a random selection will be somewhere near 25% or 3/12.Since actually answering the quiz carries the (very real) possibility of a score lower than that of a random sampling, I choose to go with my best option.So I'm sticking with 3/12.Yay me!
10 out of 12
6/12

Continue reading the Original PF Insights Post.[/QUOTE][USER=1]@Greg Bernhardt[/USER] Please can you correct "Hawkings" to "Hawking"? That's a painful error!
7/12, but the worst thing is I didn't notice his name misspelled
Don't you think you should spell his name correctly?
One of the few things I know about him is that his name is "Hawking", not "Hawkings"!
