CIVIL ENGINEERING
This is a practical test of your design and building skills. With the boxes of toothpicks and glue present, build a platform that will support your weight when you and your platform are suspended over a vat of nitric acid. You may post video on youtube.com.

BIOLOGY
Create life. Estimate the differences in subsequent human culture if this form of life had developed 500,000 years earlier, with special attention to the probable effect, if any, on the Philippine social spectrum circa 1640. Prove your thesis.

RELIGION
Perform a miracle. Creativity will be judged. You may post video on youtube.com.

MUSIC
Write a full piano concerto. Orchestrate and perform it with a flute and drum. You may post video on youtube.com.

LOGIC
Take a position for or against truth. Prove the validity of your position.

PSYCHOLOGY
Based on your knowledge of their early works, evaluate the emotional stability, degree of adjustment, and repressed frustrations of each of the following: Alexander of Aphrodisias, Ramses II, Gregory of Nicea, and Hammurabi. Support your evaluations with quotations from each man's work, making appropriate references. Translate all quotations in Tagalog.

SOCIOLOGY
Identify the sociological problems which might be associated with the end of the world. Construct an experiment to test your theory.

ECONOMICS
Describe in four hundred words or less what you would have done to prevent the Great Depression.

MATHEMATICS
You have 60 seconds to mentally solve the mathematical problem below.
Begin.

(Bonus question: Why is 11 not pronounced onety one? Provide a full numerical analysis in justifying your answer.)

POLITICAL SCIENCE
Using a cellphone, start World War III. Report at length on its socio-political effects, if any.

ART
Given one eight-count box of crayons and three sheets of notebook paper, recreate the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Skin tones should be true to life. Post photo.

PHYSICS
Explain the nature of matter. Include in your answer an in-depth evaluation of the impact of the development of mathematics on science.

METAPHYSICS
Describe in detail the nature of life after death. Test your hypothesis. You may post video on youtube.com.

PHILOSOPHY
Sketch the development of human thought. Estimate its significance. Compare with the development of any other kind of thought.

GENERAL KNOWLEDGE
Describe in detail. Be objective and specific.

The Universe is the totality of matter and energy in existence. The study of the origin of the universe, or cosmos, is known as cosmogony, and that of its structure and evolution, cosmology. The age of the universe depends on which theory of cosmology one accepts. According to the big bang theory, the universe is between 10 and 20 billion years old. The steady-state theory holds that the universe has been in existence for all time.

The universe includes all matter and energy including the earth, the galaxies, and the contents of intergalactic space, regarded as a whole.

Up to this day, the shape of the universe is still unknown. Most cosmologists believe that the observable universe is very nearly spatially flat, just as the surface of a lake is nearly flat. This opinion was strengthened by the latest data from WMAP, looking at "acoustic oscillations" in the cosmic microwave background radiation temperature variations.

If the universe is compact and without boundary, traveling infinitely in any given direction could cause one to arrive back where one began. If this is the case, the light from stars and galaxies may pass through the observable universe more than once. If the universe is multiply-connected and sufficiently small (and of an appropriate, perhaps complex, shape) then it is conceivable that one may be able to see once or several times around it in various, perhaps all directions. Although this possibility has not been ruled out, the results of the latest cosmic microwave background research make this appear very unlikely.

COMPUTER SCIENCE

ftoctab.C - a program that prints a conversion table for converting from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius. This program has examples of functions, for loops, and the use of floating point numbers.

bigbad this program will only run using turbo c..
____________________________________________________
#include <stdio.h>

const float fMin = -40.0; // min F temperature
const float fStep = 5.0; // F temperature step
const float fMax = 100.0; // max F temperature


/**
* fToC(fdeg) returns the Celsius equivalent of fdeg
* degrees Fahrenheit.
*/

float fToC(float fdeg) {
return (fdeg - 32.0)/1.8;
} // int fToC(int)

int main(void) {
float f;

printf("Degrees F Degrees C\n");
printf("--------- ---------\n");
for (f = fMin; f <= fMax; f += fStep) {
printf("%7.1f%12.1f\n", f, fToC(f));
}
printf("\n");
return 0;
} // int main(void)

The Universe is a big celestial body filled with celestial matter. This celestial matter includes gases, ice, and interstellar dust. It also is being defined as "a containment of matter and energy in existence".

For example, the galaxies are known to be the birthplaces of stars, for it contains millions of new stars enveloped in gas and dust. These materials accumulate to form new stars, and the gases cause the stars to shine brightly (well, a star's magnitude depends on the temperature).

Another thing: Since energy is contained here, it is found mainly around the universe. Specifically helps the planets on their rotation, the stars shine brightly and produce gas, the quasars emit radio waves, or the Sun radiate solar energy.

Also, the universe also serves as an evidence as to why we exist here. The particles that float around space is one of the few key things that will add to the jigsaw puzzle. Planets are also said to have traces of planetary life that may have existed a few million years ago. Our universe also serves as a mirror for where we live---Earth. Everything that floats, stays, roams in space, we also have it here---only living.

i'll be honest i just have no time to think and answer a question. sorry bbk. i'm gonna have a EP. sorry

[BBKuya Germs]

Al and Nizrhane did not give 3 examples. Fergie did not write a fifth-generation computer language. Anne did not mentally solve the problem.

Nobody will get 3 SP. However, VHs who participated will get 1 EP each for the effort.
