It's there again, the most inspiring scientific quiz of The Netherlands: The National Science Quiz. Do you know the answers to the twenty mind-blowing or maybe just easy questions? What are your theories that brings you to that certain answer? Exchange your ideas by responding to this post and when you think you got all those answers right consider participating by posting your answers at the VPRO (celebration for the spirit) and you might compete for a prize (though I doubt if internationa participants are allowed, its a national quiz after all). On Christmas Eve the answers will be given on television.
