Ascorbic acid is better known as vitamin C. Vitamin B-12 is cobolamin, baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, and vinegar is acetic acid.

Answer: not dying

My favorite non-music quote of all time is Woody's quip: "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through NOT DYING." It seems to be the best way to achieve immortality, although the most elusive.

8. Which of the following was the last to be introduced to the state of Hawaii?

10. What is the cube root of 27?

3 X 3 X 3 = 27. The number 5.19 is a close approximation to the square root of 27. While 2.7 is 1/10 of 27. The number 4 is the cube root of 64.
