I learned Mitosis in Bio, so maybe the phrase has "evolved" over the years

Here's why I said ambiguous. . .There's some group in the US that hands out bibles and they only have the new testament in them. I have heard several christian sects refer to it as God's Book. I have also heard Jews in mixed company just use the word bible, even though they are talking about the old testament.

Who is the only Major League Baseball player to have his number retired by all teams?
Look what I found:
To date, only eight players have had their uniform number retired by more than one Major League Baseball team. In addition, Casey Stengel is the only manager to have had his number retired by more than one team. Stengel played for five teams, two of which he also managed, but he served solely as a manager for the two teams that retired his number.

Nolan Ryan is the only person to have a number retired by three different teams. Ryan, Carlton Fisk, and Reggie Jackson are the only people to have had two different numbers retired.



Hank Aaron Atlanta Braves 44

What is the only animal with 4 knees?
Gerbil
Elephant
Pig
Horse
BUT LOOK WHAT I FOUND:
No animal has four knees - including elephants! This is a bad myth gone out of control. If you don't believe me, actually have a look at a skeleton of one. Simple really.

The joint on the front legs of any four-legged herbivore, such as horses, cows, elephants, deer, sheep and goats that resemble our own knees (and are often informally labeled as such) is actually called the carpus - the cluster of bones that form the wrist. The real knees on animals are located on the hind legs just like humans, which are often referred to as the stifle joint.

I just got the question

How many American states start with the letter A?

1
2
3 *this was marked correct.
4

3 was marked correct but it is wrong. Last time I checked there was Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas. which makes 4. Unless one of these isn't a state anymore, anything is possible with Obama as president, the answer needs to be changed.

Which of the following is true (or something like that)

1. There is a city named Rome on every continent
2. (I forget)
3. Dolphins sleep with one eye open
4. All of the above

I chose 3 which is true, and was told it was incorrect that the correct answer is 4. All of the above.

Sorry, but number 1 CANNOT be true since there are no cities on Antarctica, so there is NO Rome on EVERY continent

English isn't my native language but I'd like to challenge the following question:

In plane geometry when two triangles have one side and two angles equal they are?
doesn’t mean anything.
triangles with sides of the same length.
not plane triangles.
triangles equal to each other. (marked as correct)

It's clear that with 2 equal angles also the 3rd angle has same value in both triangles. However, it is not said that the triangles share the side of equal length or have it in same place, which can lead to multiple SIMILAR TRIANGLES (same angles and in this case 1 side of same length, 2 sides of different length). This would imply that answer A is right.

If the side of same length is same in the triangles then the triangles are congruent. This means all the sides in both triangles are equal, as well as the angles. In this case I think both answers B and D are right.
