	Nice one, this was tough

	gellchom:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 04:16 GMT		7 points
	this was hard! I don't understand why "site" is an abbreviation.

	cdragon1983:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 05:24 GMT		6 points
	Short for "website", I suppose.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 05:26 GMT		3 points
	It's been about a million years since I studied high school math as my score showed.

	For a moment I couldn't figure out "Common term for a regular hexahedron," because d6 isn't a four-letter word, and dice isn't singular.

	Isn't discussion pretty much pointless when something is "moot"?

	Fruitbat:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 10:38 GMT		-3 points
	I'm confused by "Geometric shape fit for frozen dairy". Can someone explain?

	Cylindrical cone and ice cream cone

	Mott the Hoople...otherwise known as Moth Poet Hotel I seem to recall...

	ChristinaD:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 11:29 GMT		9 points
	@diplotmatt Yes, it is like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter.

	Big_E:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 11:47 GMT		7 points
	@diplotmatt - that's how I define it...but as an adjective at dictionary.com, "open to discussion or debate; debatable; doubtful: a moot point." However, "SITE" is not an abbreviation. Abbreviations are written with a period, such as assn. for association or blvd. for boulevard. SITE is not an abbreviation for WEBSITE. SITE on it's own is a word, such as "the position or location of a town, building, etc., especially as to its environment: the site of our summer cabin. 2. the area or exact plot of ground on which anything is, has been, or is to be located: the site of ancient Troy.

	Agree with diplomatt - the clue isn't that close to what 'moot' normally means.

	SClarke:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 12:33 GMT		9 points
	"Moot" is an odd word. It is almost its own antonym. It can mean: (1) "open to question" or "subjected to discussion" (2) "deprived of practical significance" or "made abstract or purely academic" Certainly (2) is the more common usage.

	slamb:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 12:37 GMT		2 points
	I never learned the term "root" for the last clue. I like to solve from the bottom, so I tried "axis".

	@SClarke: Be careful when raising the topic of words that are their own antonyms ... such discussions can get quite heated, and proper protection is important. Make sure to wear clothing that is inflammable. Or isn't inflammable. Whichever.

	I've changed the clue for "moot". Thanks for all the input. Also, "site" is an abbreviation for "website", as it is a commmonly-used shortening of the word. Abbreviations don't have to end with periods.

	sproutcm:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 14:11 GMT		6 points
	@puckett86. Actually, according to Merriam-Webster, site is not an abbreviation at all. Starting in 1992, they added "Web site" as a two word phrase meaning a site on the World Wide Web, and then as it became more common, the word web got dropped and "site" was given its own new definition, without an abbreviation tag, meaning " one or more Internet addresses at which an individual or organization provides information to others."

	puckett86:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 14:15 GMT		3 points
	@sproutcm Interesting. Well, at least it used to be an abbreviation. I must be getting old. In any event, I removed the 'abbr' from the hint.

	SClarke:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 15:35 GMT		15 points
	Now that the clue for "moot" has been changed, I guess the earlier discussion is moot, whatever that means in this case.

	I enjoyed this quiz. Yay math!

	TAR2:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 22:21 GMT		2 points
	"sine of the angle" would be a little more than 4 letters.

	Mites are arachnids, not insects.

	Can someone explain to me the 'theme of rungs...' question please?

	Fruitbat:	Feb 22nd, 2011 at 14:14 GMT		3 points
	@sullyeye. Thanks for the explanation. Ice cream cone of course. D'Oh!

	ttoptommy:	Apr 6th, 2011 at 13:37 GMT		0 points
	@TAR2: Yeah it would be more than 4 letters but at least it would be right. Sine is a function not a number.
