MR DORSEY’S – DID YOU KNOW – ROUND THINGS

How much do you know?  Mr Dorsey, the best teacher in this universe, challenges you – what do you know?  Mr Dorsey has taught the lesson below and claims everything is true – but we believe only 50% of Mr Dorsey’s ‘facts’ are actually truths and the other 50% is false.  Can you spot what is true and what is false?  Can Mr Dorsey be trusted?  Is 100% of what he teaches correct?  Maybe not in this universe – is he instead really out of this world?
