2 Where are human triceps muscles to be found?
3 What is the brightest star in the night sky?

14 Orbiting 35,900km above the equator, what term is given to satellites that remain above the same point on the Earth’s surface in their orbit?

I did pretty well on this first part of a 60 question quiz. I missed numbers 4 and 8. I might have gotten 8 correct if I had taken the test a few days later because I stumbled upon the answer accidentally when looking for something else but that is another story entirely. Next Thursday I will go on to part 2. and post the answers to this weeks questions.
