Jo, Good luck on the Rehab, a friend had a knee replaced last year. The Rehab was longer than expected but he was happy with end result. Erik
Robert,
The maths one was definitely a snarky spoof but sadly, the evolution one is not.

Only one of many articles on the contest this year, and the contestants answers to the whether evolution should be taught in schools.

Quoting Robert Taylor <robtaylorslc@gmail.com>:
Very Funny, however in fairness, lest someone take this seriously, it's important to point out that these videos are cleverly edited and the exact same clips appear elsewhere on YouTube and show the same contestants answering the questions with different words edited/inserted such as gravity, evolution math, etc. most likely from different questions. In a few of the clips you can see the mouth doesn't quite match the words or tone.
There's a little malicious humor going on here. That's not to say there have not been some stupid answers from contestants in the past. Enjoy it, but don't take it seriously. These are not real answers.
Bob
