  Regarding science and nature questions in TP, two recent
problems come to mind.

1.  The science that deals with heavenly bodies and the universe etc.
My asnwer is *astronomy* 
Their answer is cosmology.  
A more general answer is surely physics, since physics deals with
motions, gravity, fusion (star formation) cosmic rays, etc.
Also cosmology is a subgroup of astronomy which is a subgroup of physics.

2.  An even more perplexing question is "The other two dimensions
besides length and width are?"
Their answer is depth and time.  Now we can all agree on time
but as for depth?   To anyone accustomed to cartesian coordinates
the use of length and width are a little strange, but depth is beyond belief.
Most people would at least answer height, but if you are going to use
depth, then length and width also become slightly ambigious.

I agree with the previous comments that there are so many really good science
questions that they really didn't have to resort to such confusion in
order to come up with good questions.  

Here is a good one for Arts and Entertainment.
Q.  How many TP questions are wrong?
