How about a new potpourri thread?

[Locutus of Board]

I'll start with an easy one, so the edge-of-your-seat action can begin, with the baton being passed.

What's the atomic weight of Hydrogen?

 

[Engine]

1!















How does this work? Do I ask a question, now?

<edit>: Bah, nm... too slow

 

[duragezic]

1 I think.

edit: Haha beat ya.

 

[thereds]

1.0079 ~ 1.008

 

[ArkAoss]

if its a girl it thinks its twice that, and if its a guy it doesnt care

 

[Locutus of Board]

thereds,

I'd give it to you for most accuracy, to be honest I was only looking for 1.

You have the baton eagle__2!

<<EDIT>>

It appears Eagle has flown away.

I pass the baton to Engine. Go Engine!

 

[Engine]

Oookay...

[palad]

umm.. I guess I can't say that here...

 

[Locutus of Board]

Pretender,

I guess you got back already. U go.

 

[Pretender]

Edited post, see question above

 

[thereds]

I don't know if this is right, but here goes
Glucose is made up of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen
C6H12O6 [all numbers are subscripts]
Therefore, the molecular weight of glucose is the sum of the atomic weights of the above, which is
[6*12]+[12*1]+[6*16] = 180

~180

yes/no?

 

[Pretender]

Yeah, that would be correct. I don't remember the atomic weights for each of the elements, but those numbers look right.

So, your turn thereds.

 

[thereds]

sweet.
