b) General Discussion Forum

We have a book about the planets at school that shows an Earth-centered solar system on the cover. Since they show the correct version inside the book, I assume there's some sort of explanation that this was a previous model. But it's in Korean, so I can't tell.

I read somewhere that 50% of the adults in the United States don't know that the Earth revolves around the Sun.
Also, 50% of high school students in the United States cannot locate Japan on a map.

I've read somewhere that 90% of Canadians, Brits, and Aussies think that dog is really spelled c-a-t.

See, I can make up BS statistics too!
