I think I could have gotten a couple more right if I took time to figure them, like F(net)=ma, but I was too lazy. And some I didn’t actually “know” but reasoned out, like the question on horsepower. I know scientists have egos, but they’d never name a unit of power after themselves. (”Watt” was obviously wrong by my thinking). And the question on catalytic converters threw me. I thought palladium at first, but since it is a valuable metal, and I haven’t heard much in the way of CC thefts, I reasoned it had to be something else. Wrong! (But don’t tell the thieves out there!)
We have them around here. Our thieves must be smarter than yours.
I don't know if I should feel sorry for you, or for me...

I couldn’t have named palladium off the top of my head, but since that question mentioned the goddess Athena, and since I’ve been an avid fan of Greek mythology all my life, it was easy to pick it out as a derivative of her honorific name, Pallas Athene.
