    Just one.

    So an element that begins with the letter S or H or E or P.

    Saw a QI recently on elements & grew up on a farm. Hopefully went obscure enough.

    Hard to know when end of planets, go close to sun, expecting everyone to go towards the outer ones. Or try and double bluff, expecting others to do the same. Trying to outwit myself,

    No idea of Nobel prize,

    I went for the obvious answers hoping everyone else would try for the more obscure ones.

    (I'm currently marking - PEEHS is keeping me sane!!)

    There were a lot of kids who said "that's easy" when they left. They will be disappointed in September!

    If we go to the library & peruse the science books, that is not using Google.

    :P

    If I do crap my excuse is that the JC didn't exist when I was in school. I'm sure science was completely different when I did the Inter :D

    In but highly sceptical that some of my answers are correct. I wasn't 100% on the density one (are you looking for an SI unit, like would inches be an acceptable answer for a unit of length?) and I entered only the surname of the Nobel Laureate as I can't think of his first name for the life of me. I guessed a letter for the DNA one as that's out of my league.

    Great idea for a topic, really tested on a few of them but also a good mix of ones with very few correct answers.......best of luck to all who entered!

    I might do one soon that is all just questions with a finite number of answers......Name one of the members of the Beatles, Pick an Irish city etc etc.
