Food Science B

-Nothing\'s gonna get deleted. We\'re gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what\'s Fonzie like? Come on, what\'s Fonzie like?
-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

And a 'taste' event wouldn't be 'random judging'? You can't be much more subjective than the sense of taste.

The trial event rules in North Carolina last year included a taste test of competitors' pre-cooked pancakes. That must have been fun for the judges. :P

You need to know how to do benedict's test, iodine test, and biuret test.
You also need to know the periodic table including honc hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon.
Also know chemical structures.

Why did he go vegetarian??

Anyway, I am wondering how on Earth we should interpret the rules that state one word for something we should know on the test, Section C to be exact, how are we supposed to know what to study about that word?
