These six elements at the right edge of the periodic table are > known for their low reactivity. noble gases "Noble" was the name of a medieval English coin (worth six shillings and eight pence for reasons which escape me). It's mentioned in Shakespeare a number of times. I almost decided to award "Nobel" no points since it's not clear that the correct answer was meant, but ended up giving it 1 point. > 10.

| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Sep 05 08:30PM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-04-04, and should be interpreted accordingly. On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty. Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup, based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal the correct answers in about 10-12 days.

I thought this equation as written was badly chosen for the question: nothing here says that f is the derivative of F, which is what you need to understand for it to really point to the correct answer. In addition the "dx" is missing inside the integral.

Although most commonly prescribed to control pain, opioids are > also used to treat drug addiction and coughing, and to suppress > what other bodily function? Defecation. I accepted "diarrhea" (which nobody knew how to spell) and "excretion". So, 4 for Dan Blum, Stephen, and Marc. > 14.

Narcan (also accepting naloxone, Evzio). 4 for Stephen (the hard way), Dan Tilque, and Marc. > 15. Within 3 years, what year was oxycodone (the opioid in OxyContin > and Percocet) developed in Germany to "replace addictive drugs" > such as heroin and cocaine? 1916 (accepting 1913-19).
