	So many things wrong about this quiz, I don't really know where to start...

	AlexJD:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 20:50 GMT	1 point
	So density is measured in lbs/oz? We've been doing it wrong for years!

	Larry_5444:	Oct 30th, 2009 at 20:57 GMT	-1 points
	Density's formula is Mass Per Unit Volume. It's very vague.

	WOW. So wrong. Pounds are a measure of Force. A degree is not a measure by itself. The SI base unit for mass is a kilogram. Which makes a difference. And you need to be more specific than "light."

	-.- you people say this as if this is matter of life and death for me OR you. it's not, so get over yourselves. And if you noticed Kilo is a metric prefix. that implies that whatver base unit it is applied should be multiplied by 1000. and you chose to play it. Also Pounds is a measure of GRAVITATIONAL Force. Newtons implies any type of force.

	Either way pounds is not mass. The english unit for that is slugs. You should accept singular forms and commonly accepted abbreviations of the unit also. "Customary" should be clarified so that it says "English". (English is the usual system in the US, but is not in the rest of the world, and there are other systems that are "customary" for some people). The color of the answer/background should be changed so it is not so painful to read. And if you make a quiz you should get it right, and not get upset about other people giving you suggestions. There are at least three units relating to light that I know of (and I am sure there are others), lux, lumen, and candela. Temperature can also be measured in Kelvins which does not use the word degree. Force also has many other units in other systems including the pound (English) and the dyne (CGS) so the system should be specified. Also, liter is liquid volume, solid volume is measured in cubic meters or cubic cms, etc. In the English system, fluid ounce is a measure of volume and ounce is a measure of mass. This quiz has potential but it just isn't anywhere near where it should be right now.

	Ok those are all criticism, and if they're trying to give me suggestions, i'd like to have a straight up suggestsion. Not cryptic crap like "And you need to be more specific than 'light.'" I'd also like to be told what to change light to. Also, for Temp. You can also enter Farenheit, Celcius, and Kelvin, it will still show up.

	the measurement for Light has surpassed that off The peppers, in times guessed correctly.

	by the same logic used for gram/kilogram, surely bel should be an acceptable alternative to decibel.

	Larry_5444:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 02:10 GMT	1 point
	by the same logic used for gram/kilogram should i also use Kilometer and Kiloliter?

	Will:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 16:21 GMT	1 point
	Kilogram is the SI base unit, not gram. Yes, it uses a prefix, and it is the only SI base unit to do so, but that doesn't alter the fact that the SI base unit is kilogram and not gram. Also, as to what to change light intensity to, luminous intensity is the correct term, with no ambiguity.

	Larry_5444:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 16:47 GMT	1 point
	Will, that was perfect except for one thing. I dunno what Ambiguity means ._.

	maroolat:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 17:48 GMT	1 point
	Its technically luminous intensity. Also, no scientist anywhere uses english measurements. Degree is not a unit, you want Kelvin.

	ppirilla:	Feb 17th, 2010 at 22:46 GMT	1 point
	the pound is the english customary unit for force. Since you don't specify unit system, you should probably accept that. And degree is a measure of angles, not temperature.
