Well you're both right, but I guess Rat got in there first (despite the fact he was intentionally trying to make his answer confusing bluetongue.gif)

This kind of crosses the line into math instead of science but I don't care...sue me

Give the formula for finding the surface area of a cylinder.

Zoo should still get the next question, but I think you left a 2 coefficient off the first term. So 2pi*r*h+2pi*r^2 or more compactly 2pi*r(h+r).

Yes, I see that now. Been using the circumference formula a lot lately, and I know the diameter, so it's redundant to divide it in half only to multiply it by 2 again, and then I forgot that I do that.

Took a while to read it but Goto is right since he got the whole equation
2Πr²+ΠDh

Well, technically ziggy yes, but I was looking for something more physical. Biological classification is, at its core, arbitrary, not quite concrete enough. That's not, of course, to say it's not useful at all, it's just that our brains like patterns, and nature is more of a continuum than something that can be put in neat little boxes. Take pandas. Taxonomists can't quite decide where they belong, because they are similar to two different groups. And I don't know where that came from eek4.gif .

And nope UB, that's not it.

Err... let's see... Snakes don't blink, right? They have that filmy thing cover their eye? But lizards have eyelids. And I think lizards have external ears, but snakes don't bluetongue.gif

Yeah, snakes have a scale over their eye, and lack ears. Lizards have both ears and eyelids.

And the reason it's not the legs: Glass Lizards
