Remember that time we had that party with the crawfish and the trivia and the all-of-that? My favorite part wasn't the steam burns, but instead a wonderful little test we put together for the anniversary of the SAT.

Over the next month or so we're going to review these questions one-by-one, giving you the answers along with hopefully-interesting background. I'll also somehow work in the best-received trivia question, which featured famous astronomers, fake noses and a dead drunk moose. You'll have to wait a bit on that one, though!
