:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Now this is taking the biscuit!!!......to top it all, I got it right!!...

A few marble chips are taken in a test-tube, to which a few ml of hydrochloric acid is added. The two react, resulting in the formation of an acid and a salt. The acid then undergoes decomposition to form two new compounds. Which three compounds are the final products of these reactions?

As I mentioned above, I altered the question categories this morning by by dropping some of the more obscure sports questions and replacing them with random questions on science, inventors, star wars, star trek, and movie trivia. That doesn't mean you still won't see the odd rugby or gaelic dancing question - it just means you won't see them so often :)

We'll give this a try for a few days and then I'll switch the categories around again. As always, the questions you get are entirely random and it does even itself out over time as daily winners can attest to as they're normally at the bottom of the heap the day after they've won :D

Well done to Sparky for winning yesterday and a deserved pat on the back to Vegy on his amazing second place!

Star wars and star trek??? Glos whatever drugs you're on man yo'd want to lower the dose a bit...

[vegyjones]

Top 4 are starting to pull away...
had an average result today, but am making ground on mathare!

You don't have television sets over there??? :D

[vegyjones]

Perhaps I could suggest a new thread each week... this one getting a bit congested now! :wink

[Fadetoblack]

You don't have television sets over there??? :D

Yes but we don't have to watch every piece of that's put on it.

[GlosRFC]

Feel free to suggest away. Just realised you meant a new thread in here - I thought you meant new topics for questions :D But congestion's good, just ask Ken Livingstone - I might slap a charge on all who visit this one. Good point though so I'll kick off a new one tomorrow.

And, on reflection, FTB might be right - it asked me to name the two whales in Star Trek 4!!! As if that wasn't bad enough I also got a Scottish folk music question and who played half back for Scotland in 1903

Needless to say, my performance was particularly dire today.

[sparkyminer]

I got, 'What year was Sarah Louise born in Coronation Street?'
WTF? Who's she? Ooo

[GlosRFC]

Isn't she Gail's daughter? I don't watch it but I think that's who she is.

[bigcumba]

I've had quite a few Scottish folk song questions - OK I'm Scottish, but I've never been known to walk around with a wooly jumper on and my finger in my ear.... :D Scottish rock music... now that would be easier! Where's the heavy metal category ? :D

[sparkyminer]

Isn't she Gail's daughter? I don't watch it but I think that's who she is.

Isn't Gail the sour faced old trout who looks like a lab hamster who was the result of a horrible genetic experiment? :)

[GlosRFC]

Ahh, there IS a heavy metal category but I was saving that for next time!

I got a question and one of the choices was Iron Maiden. I guessed and got it right thanks to you and Keith. :D

[bigcumba]

Ahh, there IS a heavy metal category

That'll be questions on the scientific properties of Lead :)

[GlosRFC]

There you go, Sparky...Gail was the original Iron Maiden

[mathare]

There you go, Sparky...Gail was the original Iron Maiden

Nah, more like the original Eddie

[bigcumba]

Nah, more like the original Eddie

Not true - Eddie at least had a chin....

[samantha1303]

Almost caught you Sparky.

Never heard of a series called Dark Skies.
But gratefull for no rugby or scottish questions.

As I recall it's an alien abduction, takeover sci fi malarkey.

[vegyjones]

I am a start wars fan, but thwe question

In A new hope (the origional 1977 one) Leia sent a message to Obi Wan Kinobi (so far so good) saying that he had once helped her efather (okay), who was he and who played him subsequently!!!

Good lord!!!
The answer is in one of the new ones! I ain't watched them enough times to remember that yet!

[mathare]

That's alright Vegy - I got a question about what colour code was given to a shuttle in RotJ and I too am a Star Wars fan. Another question was about the Phantom Menace and I don't mind getting that wrong because it's a rubbish film.

[Ruby]

Okay..we all know this one don't we??

What is a pimple called in Klingon(ST9)?

a gorch
a garachanacha
a zit
a kamehameha
yes it was a gorch.... and (worryingly) I guessed it right!!

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Oh Joy - More Eastenders questions with some Star Wars and principal founder of geology thrown in for good measure - Still, the 2 points will come in handy for claiming today's wooden spoon award!

[sparkyminer]

Bloody Hell.
Normal service has been resumed. :D

[vegyjones]

Hmm, Mathare will pull away from me today,
but will make ground on Fadetoblack (higest points scorer without a daily win)
and Sparky... with Presto yet to play! :wink

[presto]

Bloody Hell.
Normal service has been resumed. :D

same here sparky. i got 2 correct today

[Fadetoblack]

These questions do not suit me at all!!

[mathare]

I must have got off lightly today then :D

[bigcumba]

Typical - changed my mind on 4 questions, if I hadn't I'd have got 9 right...
