Guest Blogger: Go the Nerds

This Guest Blog Spot is written by Kieran...

I was selected for the school science team and on Monday, we went to Auckland University to compete in SciQuiz 2008. We went around looking at some of the exhibitions. My favourite was a fossil exhibition with lots of fossils including a mammoth tooth. We saw a car with a camera installed so that you can see what is in front of the car. Our heat was at 12:30pm and we were Team 13. The heat was done in 10 minutes!!! We finished 2nd in our heat on time difference (as in same score but the other team finished faster). We made the final at 1:30pm. We finished 2nd the final on time difference again and we won a Incredible Science book, a pencil and tickets to the Sky Tower and Butterfly Creek.

Score:
Heat: 100 points 20/20 correct 2nd
Final: 100 points 20/20 correct 2nd

While we are talking about Kieran he really made me laugh the other day. He biked up to the dairy to get the paper and rocked back in the door... delivered lollies to the various recipients and then turned to me and said "If your wondering about the pants" (they were wet round the bottom) "I have three words for you 'Boys will be boys' "

He also spent a bit of time taking some photos. Some of which you just wouldn't want to see and this series which I quite like....

Yes the remote is bloody great!! The pretense was learning to use the tripod though. He's Try scoring of course! Needless to say I was at the other end of the house. Cause he wouldn't have been doing that to the furniture and especially with the video on the couch too!
