which moon?

I think I've written about this before, but here it goes: As a psychologist, I've given a few hundred intelligence tests over the past 15 years. One area of this testing is general information (biography, history, geography, etc.), and the 5th or 6th question on this subtest was "Who was Louis Armstrong?". Of the people who gave an answer, the overwhelming majority actually did say "Wasn't he the first man on the moon?" I'd guess that less than 5% responded "a trumpeter", "a famous jazz musician", or another suitable answer that earned them full credit. I used to joke that anyone who answered the question correctly earned a bonus of 5 points added to their IQ ("the jazz factor"). Several years ago they removed the question from the test, an appropriate decision, I think.

which moon?

I want to say, "The one surrounding Uranus", but I'm much too classy for that.

I just want to know how high it is. The moon, not Louis.
