Test your Palm Pre and Palm Pixi IQ!

This is a test you can't flunk. And who's keeping score anyway? Here's your chance to show off your Palm webOS knowledge.

Q: What is the square root of 986,097,225?

HINT: Open Calculator and press Spacebar to see advanced operations like square root and percentage.

Q: You're on a train going west at 40mph. Where's the next stop?

HINT: The Google Maps app shows stations for light rail, trains and more. Double-tap to zoom in, and tap the icon to see the station name.

Q: Name two recurrent similes or metaphors that appear in Duran Duran videos.

HINT: In the Music app, while you're listening to a track, open the application menu and tap YouTube. You can automatically search the current artist or song.

Q: List three popular misspellings of common words.

HINT: Your Palm webOS phone automatically corrects common misspellings. But if you actually did want to say "teh movei weas gerat -- thx!," just press backspace once to un-do auto-corrections as they appear.

Q: Is this famous movie quote accurate?: "I know what you're thinking. You want to take a self portrait but in all the excitement you can't see the shutter icon because the phone's turned around. Do you feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?"

HINT: Yes, you’re lucky because you know about the Spacebar! Press it once to take a picture. Press and hold to take a picture every second or so.

Q: If an email is accidentally deleted in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

HINT: There is no correct answer, but you can get the email back. Go to the Deleted Items folder and open the deleted email. Meta-tap + M ("Move to folder ...") then move it wherever you want.

Bonus Q: What’s a "meta-tap"?

HINT: It's a quick way to do menu actions. Tap and hold in the gesture area with one finger, then press a letter key with your other finger. Discover meta-tap shortcuts in the application menus: look for the bull’s-eye + letter combos.
