:shock: wow. I think one of the main things that got people too was that there was multiple answers. My partner and I didn't read the instructions very clearly so we only answered with one answer...

I thought it was a pretty good test, although the question about the thickness of the molecule, the "ellipse" looked a lot like a circle, and didn't match the answer keys measurements... maybe our printer distorted it or something.
