Colvin science

Colvin science was a question that claimed to fill part of a science distribution, but that was fraudulently answered by players who know nothing about science. It was named for Matt Colvin.

The presence of these materials in a "science" question will usually identify it as Colvin science:

• biographical clues about scientists
• taxonomy
• the geologic time scale
• clues about Greek and Latin roots privileged over clues about actual science
• pseudosciences and antisciences, such as creationism, Velikovskyism, and cryptozoology
