The Scoville Heat Scale right, I think it was named after Melvin Scoville?

Scoville indeed!

(Although it was named after Wilbur Scoville, not Melvin, but it doesn't really matter since that wasn't part of the question )

Question #4: If you have a standardly tuned classical guitar and you play the 4th string at the third fret, which tone do you get?

A#?

That's unfortunately not what I'm looking for. By 4th string, I mean the fourth one counting from the high-pitched E string (i.e. the third lowest string by pitch).

In what kind of under-developped country do we count the strings starting from the highest one?

In... most of them, I think? At least I suppose that's the standard (in any case, sorry for not specifying the order the strings should be counted in)

EDIT: I'll just repost the question, since there's been some messages in between:
Question #4: If you have a standardly tuned classical guitar and you play the 4th string at the third fret, which tone do you get? (The strings are counted from the high E string down.)

I'm no guitar expert, but from my calculations you'd get an F#, which is the same grade I'll be getting if this isn't the correct answer.

That's really close, but still no...

Normal F?

That's it.

Blackbird.

Ow, unfortunately not Blackbird is definitely by the Beatles...

Imagine - John Lennon (I’m gonna be mad if I got his name wrong)

Right you are, and right you got the name.

Oh goodie, one of the things I studied in engineering school. It's "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation"

That's right.
