That would be factually not correct.
Cockroaches keep themselves meticulously clean. This and more to be found here: http://www.bio.umass.edu/biology/kun...roach_faq.html

One of the local police officers has been calling in to get me to help out with his homework/test from an English college course he's doing. All of the questions have multiple choice answers which were very similar to that described by the OP.
After some thought we went through the book and I found a website from the college, looked it up and there was the test with the answers.
I hope he remembers me when his results get him his promotion.

There is nothing incorrect about her grammar in answers 1 and 3.

So if Einstein's handwriting were difficult to read then in today's world we would presumably consider him stupid.

Having taught in the states and here in BKK for a year or so, this is my belief.

Is a 7 a 1, or is a 9 a 4? Sometimes an 8 can be a 9. A sloppy 5 could be a 9 or even a 6. Now was the answer an 11, 77, 71 or 17?

Einstein WAS considered stupid at school. I forget why, but I have a feeling it was cos his writing WAS bad and he had attention problems.
