This quiz is for my Student Research Project. I’m comparing people’s knowledge & their hair colour to prove that hair colour doesn’t affect much. It would be really great if you could fill it out for me! When I have everyone’s results, I can email you the average results & your own if you’d like.
I’d like it back by: 10 April, 2005.
Thanks heaps.
The rules are: You have a time limit of and hour and a half. If you’re doing it via the net, just type the answers in or make them a different colour. If not, just write the answers in. You aren’t allowed to look anything up, and please don’t or it will stuff all the answers up! The only other things you’re allowed are a piece of scrap paper, a pen and a calculator.
Also, if you’re not sure what exact colour your hair is, just write what you think it is, or it’s closest matching colour.
