 Question about the quiz answers.
For the one about hiding beneath trees during a thunderstorm, why is it marked that you should? If I remember correctly, lightning travels along the ground after going down a tree. You can easily get electrocuted.

Do I look like a warlord to you? If not, look again.

 AH
standing under a single tree when its a just one tree, or very sparsely treed, will get you noticed by the electricity :) the tree acts like a rod.

But, given the choice to stand out in a field, or take cover in a forest... the group of trees is safer.. and the question said "trees" not "tree".

This is where I pulled this quiz.

Ok. Didn't know that.
