Click the correct radial button, & your score will be generated at the
end of the quiz.
I missed two: No. 7 (a simple fact I just didn't know) & No. 8, the
answer to which confuses me because I assumed that, the further you
get from the quake origin, the greater the distance between P & S
waves grows (because P waves travel faster).

Let there be therefore two streams & two dispensations
of knowledge; & in like manner two tribes or kindreds of
students in philosophy -- tribes not hostile or alien to
each other, but bound together by mutual services; -- let
there in short be one method for the cultivation, another
for the invention, of knowledge.
-- Bacon, Preface, Novum Organum
