Yeah, very interesting. I looked up sewer covers on Wikipedia and it turns out Nashua, New Hampshire (where I currently sit and am attending school) is one of the only cities in the United States with non-circular (triangular) sewer covers. I plan to find one the next time I go out. ;)

half of the questions are meant to be tests about how you answer as much as the actual answer itself.

You are shrunk to the height of a nickel and your mass is proportionally reduced so as to maintain your original density. You are then thrown into an empty glass blender. The blades will start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do?
Woah, the project managers must have it hard. ;p

Lmao, I wonder who replied with "If shrunk down to the height of a nickel I would be so dense I would have no reason to fear the blades." causing them to add in the bit about proportional mass.

Wow, the only one I know how to answer is the manhole cover one. All the rest made my skull hurt. That's probably because I know dick about programming, but still.
