That's cool. I like the part about the thermocline being as close as 2 meters from the surface. I'd have warm feet and a cold head! Wild.

I demand a recount. Better yet an arbitrator. Some of there answers were pretty subjective. Like what tastes better. :p

I got 12 out of 20 on the sense test. I have to agree that the taste combinations were arbitrary as hell.

All they wanted you to do was choose the sweet/salty combinations. But I think it's a little silly to expect most people to know what caviar tastes like.

How does the test know what I like on my white chocolate??? Of the choices offered, I was very certain that I would enjoy it most with broccoli.

Caviar makes me puke (anything fishy does) so I ruled that choice out immediately!
