Science & Mathematics - 4 February 2007

I recently read a report in the news warning of a "catastrophic" earthquake being possible in Vancouver BC very soon. I've been researching Vancouver recently and am looking to move there to live from east coast US. This is the first time ive heard of earthquakes there. Are earthquakes frequent in Vancouver? Is there real danger for a "catastrophic" earthquake to occur? Does the Vancouver government have natural disaster readiness programs/education in effect? Is this something I should fear if looking into moving there in the next few years? (ie: reason why no one moves to 'Tornado Valley' or why people are wary of living in San Fran...??)

Do you see a lightbulb in your house? Do you see your computer? Ever thought of what makes those things run? Of course you did! At least I hope so. Do you know who made all of these wonderful things we have today work? Of coure you don't! You think Thomas Edison made everything Earth revolvs around. I bet you're even bored when you're reading this! Alternating Current, the type of electricity that is running throughout the world today, was invented by the forgotton genius, Nikola Tesla, as well as many other marvelous things. I'm not worshiping him because he is Serbian like I, but I'm worshiping him for his care about nature and humanity. Now my question is did YOU know who he was before you read this?

On the wall of the first floor of a house there are 3 switches all in the off position. One of these switches turns on the light on the second floor; two control nothing. By flipping the switches however you like, and by being only allowed one visit upstairs, determine which switch controls the light. (you cannot see the upstairs from the switch and noone else is in the house).
