Harry Potter Sorting Quiz

Although Paul Revere gained lasting fame for his midnight ride warning colonists about an impending British attack, many people aren't aware of a similar ride taken by a sixteen-year-old girl. Sybil Ludington, born in Connecticut in 1761, completed her own perilous night ride in advance of British forces.In 1777, British loyalists and troops attacked Danbury, Connecticut. In desperation, a messenger asked Ludington to ride through the night and alert the local regiment. All told, Ludington rode forty miles—significantly farther than Paul Revere had—and managed to gather nearly the entire regiment to fight the British. Following the Danbury battle, George Washington himself traveled to the quiz home to thank Sybil for her bravery.quiz's ride never became as famous as Paul Revere's. However, if you visit New York, you can find historical markers tracing her route through Putnam County.

In the quiz, behavioral psychologist Robert quiz conducted an experiment in which rats were placed in a complex maze that had a food reward at one exit. Rats that made fewer errors navigating the maze were bred together to create a "maze-bright colony." Rats that made more errors were bred together to create a "maze-dull colony." After selectively breeding the mice for seven generations, quiz tested offspring from each colony to determine how quickly those rats would learn the maze. Offspring of the maze-bright rats consistently made fewer errors than the maze-dull offspring. quiz's research therefore suggests that the ability to navigate the maze successfully was influenced by genes passed from parent to offspring.
