The bottom line is that the rate of increase (in temps) is increasing. Or put another way, the second derivative is positive.

Second derivative! Really? Post the data.
First, I will admit the tone of the test gives away the attitude of the test writer. I do not like that. It is patronizing.
So I went back and took the test twice (got a 100 each time!). The second time I looked carefully for "statisitics" and, well, I could not find any. OK, I might have missed one, but what I did find was data. Lots of facts. And there is a difference. So if I present the data (truth) (not statistics) to you and you do not believe it, what does it make it?
