	Absolute novice, not sure which part is wrong, but: "A viscometer is an instrument to test the viscosity (ease of pouring) of a liquid. For example, honey has higher viscosity than water" seems wrong. Honey is harder to pour than water, so if it has a higher viscosity, doesn't that mean viscosity is the difficulty of pouring, not ease? {{unsigned ip\|108.162.219.136}}		Absolute novice, not sure which part is wrong, but: "A viscometer is an instrument to test the viscosity (ease of pouring) of a liquid.

	How does Randall get his ometerometer to show him the rate at which he's getting more ometers? I can only get my ometerometer to show me how many ometers I have, but I think that only works by integration.
