I ACED this! I guess I watched too much Schoolhouse Rock (is that possible?).

Remember, 3 is a magic number.

Author of the quiz here – both corrections are completely right. I’ve notified the webmaster in hopes he can reword the questions. I suggested “SEVERE axial tilt” to fix the Uranus question.

On a good day, I really am kinda smart!

The last question should be the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. John Adams wasn’t even in the country at the time of the constitutional convention, let alone on the drafting committee. However, the cartoon appears to be the Constitution, so I am curious what the original SHR said.

“Which of our solar system’s planets has an axial tilt?” I thought they all did. Even Mercury has an axial tilt (it may be only about .01 degrees, but it’s there!).
