My proudest moment in physics was when I drove the teacher to swear in sheer exasperation... it's amazing quite how much water can be scattered while producing and testing refractive wave patterns. my second proudest was when I got a B grade in the A-level despite failing the practical. This meant 64-72 (from 100) overall, but scoring no more than 6/30 on the practical part... LOL. So my ability on a physics practical - er, no. At chemistry, OTOH, I yielded to none my ability to produce percussive or oxidative explosives from basic lab ingredients. I narrowly lost the school chemistry prize to a close friend who'd specialised in poisons, his triumph was getting most of the block evacuated after he demonstrated that phosgene really could be generated that easily, but I feel I won the moral battle by turning a ballpoint into soot while sat only 2m from the teacher. Dense. British. Same word. Jeez. Poster child for remedial comprehension or what... let's start with a letter count, and work from there... [thanks for the cue]
