    Never took a chem class, but that’s no excuse for not knowing the chief Egyptian god and maybe deriving the answer from that. Sulphur was my only guess. I did know the Clem Burke band and the Alaskan island.

    Nicole was very smart and likable. She was a worthy winner who beat two decent players who made a few too many boo-boos. That first DD wasn’t difficult, as the Statue of Liberty and the French landmark came about around the same time.

    Hmmmm………I was thinking of hydrogen sulfide for FJ, but I suppose if I knew the name of the Egyptian deity, I probably would have come up with ammonia instead.

    Actually, I used hydrogen sulfide in the past for removing the copper so as to make homemade circuit board foils. In fact, I still have some hydrogen sulfide at home.
