Not true. That was my 7th grade science project. Only got a "B", too.:(

"On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't. "I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it."

yes, the tag is "This is the second picture of a series of four of the Canopus thermonuclear test in French Polynesia." Steve

there was a short story by Heinlein that said the same...
Silence is the voice of complicity. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. -- monty python Might I suggest that the universe was always the size of the cosmos. It is just that at one point the cosmos was the size of a marble. -- Colin Angus Mackay

I seem to remember it being Asimov that wrote that story...but without having access to my library @ home, I can't be 100% sure.
