Whilst I imagine your answer was 'Ammonia' the actual answer is 'an alkaline' as is evidenced by the number of ammonia-free hair bleachs on the market. Also if the word 'bleach' is a verb instead of a noun and we take proteins to be chemicals then the answer would be 'an alkaline and two types of melanin'.<br /><br />I learned something in my first year! Hair bleaching and explosives.

There are a couple of answers in there that seem entirely plausible but are in fact wrong. Canis Majoris, for example, isn't a star at all, it's a description for all stars in that constellation. If you'd put Alpha Canis Majoris, you'd be right; though the more common name is Sirius.<br /><br />Midget_Yoda gets 23, and Tomsk 22. Had the four of you formed a team, your total would now be 28, putting you in third place (two teams hit 29). <br /><br />I'll mark Gooder's list once he's finished, but I can tell you that already adding his answers would have got you into the tie-break for first place.SpaceSquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760939592584995876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505812700967330296.post-28354667606275761922010-03-04T13:58:41.621+00:002010-03-04T13:58:41.621+00:00Before looking at the other comments...
