    Generally same coloured wires are at the same potential.

    It is extremely bad practice to have different potentials on the same wire colours. Especially since they are in same terminal block.

    I don’t know which country this picture is from, but yellow/red would be safe to assume line voltage, green would usually be earth potential.

    Looks fake.

    The voltage difference between the two terminals would be minimal so no current flow, the back plate should be non-conductive. The other reason is there are no scorch marks or other signs of burning.

    Now if the mouse had gone between the green and yellow (where the terminal separator is); then we would see a big voltage difference.


  • 95% is a little low for a genius.

    At 95%, you are the smartest in a room of 20.

    Depending on if you are talking about ordinary or extraordinary genius, depending on which measure you choose ordinary genius is in the 1 in 10k range; and extraordinary genius is 100 to 1000 times rarer 1 in a million to 1 in 10 million range.

    If you are sitting in a stadium of 50k, and you are the smartest person. You are still likely not and extraordinary genius.
