The category is Chemistry. The answer is:

This element is the second lightest, with only Hydrogen being lighter.

 

[RhumbRunner13]

[RawHumor]

Helium is indeed the correct answer.

Your turn, Rhumb.

Lol could I just have someone acknowledge the fact that they've seen my posts please? I don't care about getting to ask a question, but I've at least answered one.

 

[JazzManJim]

Flare sighting! Flare sighting!

Look out for Charlie up in the trees!

 

[RhumbRunner13]

And I thought about changing that one too!!

Gotcha.

What is...

If we're counting Alaska and Hawaii, then They are the Northernmost and Westernmost, respectively.

If we're considering the contiguous (EEK! I slaughtered that word!) US, then Minnesota is the Northernmost, California is the Westernmost.

And, here are a couple guesses....

Maine is the Easternmost and Florida is the Southernmost.

 

[RhumbRunner13]

No, nearly every count.

50 States.

N E W S

Alaska would be the Northern most,
and the Western most, and since a couple of the Aluetians are across the 180° line, the Eastern most.

Hawai'i has the Southern most point.

 

[RhumbRunner13]

You didn't go to school only in Jersey!! Right!

Good job! You're next.

[Jersey Citizen]

This is the only state that has TWO universities which pre-date the American Revolution.

 

[RhumbRunner13]

What is Virginia?

D'ju see a flare?

 

[Jersey Citizen]

No

What is Virginia?

William and Mary qualifies.

What is, I was going to say New Jersey, but I actually think it's Pennsylvania (U of Penn and Dickinson College).

From their site:
"On September 9, 1783, a struggling grammar school in Carlisle was transformed into Dickinson College. Less than a week earlier, the Treaty of Paris had officially ended the Revolution and guaranteed international recognition of the United States of America. Dickinson was the first college charted in these new United States."

I guess that wouldn't pre-date.

Okay. You want dates they formally became colleges, not dates they were founded as schools.

I thoght you were looking for the latter.

 

[Jersey Citizen]

That one's so close, JMJ--I think Alex's people would probably give it to you. (That's why I went to look it up.) But there is one where it's not close at all.

 

[JazzManJim]

I keep thinking Ivy League, but my mind is drawing a huge blank.

 

[Jersey Citizen]

You're half right (i.e., one school). You're right in the neighborhood (of course there were only thirteen colonies).

 

[Jimi]

Yikes - I'm not clear... Woops!

Maybe if the original question stated public road instead of "road-race" it would have been less ambiguous

Yeah, that was a bit unclear - Good call.. sorry.

Re: Re: OK - motorsport answer

I'm not sure if this is the definitive answer, but it's older than Le Mans. It's the Isle of Man TT races that first took place in 1907. You didn't specify if the race had to take place on four wheels instead of two either. So that's why I'm suggesting the TT race. www***mtt.com

That's really what came to mind first, (given the previous Celtic question) but I couldn't for the life of me remember the date - and couldn't FIND it. thanks for the link!

As you can see i wasn't as clear as I could have been, so LeMans took it.

 

[Jimi]

GAWD, I'm slow!

What are Harvard and Yale...

Connecticut and Maine were part of Massachussetts at the time of your Revolution, right?

 

[Jersey Citizen]

No

Maine was part of Mass, but Conn. was always separate.

 

[ShamelessFlirt]

We actually have a question that appears will take some time to answer.

Who's up for a simple riddle while we wait???


What is it that you peel the outside, cook the inside then eat the outside and throw away the inside?


(that's right I have no guess at the state question. But if I were forced to pick a state and not have to name the schools I'd pick Massachusetts)
