Great quiz poohbear.

I had no idea what the answer was, so I just picked a number out of the air -- 33.

Then I couldn't wait around for the answer, so I went and looked it up. Mmmph, I was a tad off.

A bit low .....

I call this quiz "the chicken's math question"

I watched an episode of Dirty Jobs where Mike was worm grunting in a national forest in the southern states. It was funny to watch him keep missing the worms.

Seeing how quickly those worms came up and how many you can pick up...and taking Daithi's guess into consideration...I'm going with ~20 a minute.

So, I guess 600.

That's a lot of chicken feed, btw...and I would bet someone had seeded those worms before the event.

Excellent logic! Aided by your TV viewing! Close enough to win!
Actual count = 567! Imagine! 567 worms!

Take it away alisha!

WooHoo! You should have seen my cats scatter when I yippeed! (ok, the boyfriend looked at me strangly, too). Okay, time to decompress.

This one is hard and unless you spent years in med school (and even then you might be out of luck since three of my seven {yes, I have seven} doctors had never heard of it and only two had seen a case of it) you may not know it. So, in the hope of spreading awareness, I'm putting this out there in a fun way. Below is an MRI...my MRI to be exact (see my name....

). So, the quiz?

What's wrong with my brain?

I'll take a physical description of what's wrong and will be over the moon if you can name it. I will tell you that my awareness ribbon is purple. Good luck!

Can we use Google on this quiz?

Your brain seems a bit smooth. Where are all the foldy bits? Has it got a sort of Brain Crohn's disease?

Stitchawl · 06-05-2012, 02:36 AM

Part of the Borg Collective? Sneaky, I see some ripples on the very top. I wonder if that's somehow related?

But more importantly, the 'visual' area of the occipital lobe (just above the cerebellum) seems to be pressing against the skull... Look just to the left of where it says Pr on the right side of the film...

Very intriguing question. My first thought was Alien, but then I got the picture in perspective...

.

If several doctors don't get it, I'm pretty sure I won't, but is it something to do with the brain stem?

Daithi · 06-05-2012, 09:13 AM

Something about the pituitary doesn't look right to me.

This is a single slice right down the middle between the two halves...so few folds were hit. Sorry!

This part is affected (ok, the whole brain is affected some, the the back side the most).

Is it swollen? Or not properly connected? Is that two answers? Is that allowed? Should I stop asking questions now?
