one letter in each word gives the answer

well, i guess anagram poll seems to be avoiding that actual word for the second one in place of "floor"

not familiar with the frog/toad one. I feel like I've seen both hop. frogs are much more suited for it, however

I learned the rock one in an Archie comic as a kid. Stalactites are on the ceiling because they need to hold on tight

I had no idea about the animal ones though

I got an A all four terms. What I remember 20 years later is not reflective of how much I paid attention back then.

Anyway I voted for the first option. Unsure about the crocs/gators thing though.

Eating meat is okay, but turning animals into shoes/purses/fur coats is not. Ever wonder why I value animals over humans?

i assume frogs because they're the one we always hear about and always associated with all the jumping stuff like leapfrog

i wouldn't know that toads crawl if you just asked me that independent of frogs hopping

Sorry, I should have said in the opening post that the correct answer is stalactites hang from the ceiling, alligators have U-shaped snouts, and frogs hop, which is Answer #1.

The rock formations thing is like the easiest mnemonic ever. It's just stalaCtites are on the Ceiling, stalaGmitess are on the Ground.

I don't think I learned the animal ones specifically. The only crocodile-related thing I remember in elementary school was for the inequality symbols.

although nowadays I think of a mention on Would I Lie To You

Alicroc I've never known, or maybe I've asked the question "what's the difference" before, looked it up, then quickly forgotten

I was certain about the animal facts but not the rock formations. I'm glad that I guessed correctly. I had forgotten about the easy way to discern them, so thanks for the reminder GMUN.

About frogs and toads, just remember that frogs have substantially longer legs made for hopping

I admit to being one of the people who flipped alligator and crocodile. I had it in my head that crocodiles had the wider/stronger snouts for some reason.

EDIT: After Googling, it's probably because crocodiles DO have a stronger bite, which I equated to wider mouth.

I had a very faint memory in my head of Stalacities being on the Ceiling so good to see I was right. Never learned those animal facts but I had both frogs and a toad as pets growing up so that was easy. No idea on alligators vs crocs but took a shot and guessed #1

I've seen gators snap their jaws during a feeding demonstration. If crocs bite harder, then that's a scary thing indeed.

the snout thing is weird. i wouldn't characterize either of those animals as having U or V shapes. but crocodiles have an elongated jaw so i went with them for V

for whatever reason i've never needed a mnemonic for stalactites/stalagmites - stalactites come first and they sound like they should come first and they are on top

i researched just the other day the difference between a frog and a toad because i had to fish out a toad from my swimming pool. toads apparently are also weaker swimmers than frogs and will drown faster :(

I don't remember that ever being a lesson either. Maybe it is for people who dissect frogs in school.

But I have frogs in my backyard sometimes so it was an easy answer for me.
