'H2IQ' Revisited
You need a mind as slippery as an Eel, and a talent for seeing things from a
different angle to understand H2IQ. A popular h2g2 quiz for several years, H2IQ
returns to once again tease and frustrate with questions and problems for you to solve. Each week I
will repeat a question once used in the 'infamous' H2IQ quiz and all you have to do is answer it in
the 'H2IQ Revisited' conversation below. All those who give vaguely the correct answer will have
their name printed in next weeks column.
Now for this weeks question...
Wilson Brown-Bear thought it might be nice to join the army, so he went to the local library to find a
book on volunteers. While walking along the rows of books, he sees one with VOLIX written on its
spine. How should the title of this book be pronounced?

Here's a curious fact for you...
The chances of dying by falling out of bed are one in two million in a year.
I suppose it really depends on how high your bed is at the time...
one I went back to the maths lab. While there I failed to answer the question, but actually managed
to find a mathematically viable theory for why 1=0. But then the Physics Police showed up and burned
the paper on which I had written the formula. Apparently it would destroy all modern science if it
got out.
