I apologize for the delay. Some mf'er with a backhoe has cut a fibre cable and internet, TV and telephony is out throughout my area from early this morning until tomorrow evening. Everyone is still working from home so there are many angry Suisse right now.
I've been in Suisse for almost three years now. I've noticed that one of their favorite sports is digging. It doesn't matter what, they dig. All utilities are underground as well as the required bomb shelters that everyone must have. So they dig. Often without notice, some guys will show up, block the road and dig a trench, causing traffic delays for weeks. The elite diggers, however, are the ones that cut something. Then they will light their cigarettes and ponder the vagaries of a world where they cannot take part in their passion without cutting something. This takes hours before they will actually report the problem, if they ever do. Swisscom did not even know what the problem was for about 7 hours!
Without further ado, our next question.
From the Physics Section of the PADI Dive Theory Exam:
A phenomenon called "visual reversal" makes objects viewed underwater appear ___ than they actually are.
a. closer
b. more distant
c. brighter in color
d. darker in color
I will post a daily question from my exams to help newer divers and to encourage more experienced divers to interact gracefully and helpfully with the newer divers.
Reminder - this is a post in the Basic Forum and it is a green zone. Please be nice and on topic.
Thank you for your patience while we try to give people something to discuss other than Covid-19 and/or Politics. I will post the answer covered by the spoiler tag later today.
