The way the questions were worded, it is clear they are asking about the character's "outside work". The participants weren't expected to include housework. But those who are telecommuters suffer from the perception that they don't work as many hours at their jobs when they are labeled as a SAHM or SAHD. The label itself seems to imply that the worker was "at home" because of the kids, not because it's a job they CAN do from home.

Instead of a curve, think of the rim of the cup as a straight line, perpendicular to the toothpick. If the forks are properly curved and weighted, the handles would be on one side of that line, and the tines on the other. So the handles would be balancing the tines.

Yeag, 1986 was when they got rid of the LAST leaded gas sold for automobiles. I recall the phaseout took forever because they were waiting for the earlier cars to either die or convert.
People were shorter on average 100 years ago. Experts attribute it to better nutrition, fewer childhood diseases, and longer education (instead of child labor). How much each factor contributed is still a matter of contention.
