chemical symbols are based on their latin name for many of them: Gold is Au, Silver is Ag, lead is Pb

[@black4pienus]

Plumbum. I always liked that one. lol

[@DavidJones-yi6fn]

Some are based on their Greek name, eg hydrargyrum for Mercury (Hg)

[@loriangreenwood6152]

Mercury's chemical symbol is "Hg" because it comes from the Latin word "hydrargyrum," which means "liquid silver" - essentially describing the element's appearance as a silvery liquid metal; "hydr" refers to water and "argyrum" refers to silver. The Latin word "hydrargyrum" is derived from the Greek word "hydrargyros" which also means "liquid silver." JTIS ✌🏼

Well, Lewis, you started off with "I should do good" rather than "I should do well." (grin) "Ohms" I knew in junior high school, but ONLY because I took an electronics class in 9th grade. Came in VERY useful the rest of my life! A lot of the terms in electronics are named after the person who discovered/reported on the effects. Georg Ohm was a German scientist. Mercury was known as quick silver, but the HG comes from the Greek for water-silver.

This is just a bit of Historical information! The United States first came together under the Articles of Confederation! At that time there was no executive branch, but there was an honorary position of President. That position was held by John Hanson.

Only made it to about 6:24 because this was annoying as hell, and the "Who discovered America in 1492?" is a stupid question. Nobody "discovered" America in 1492, there were people here already, and Leif Erikson was here hundreds of years before. Columbus never even set foot on American soil.

LOL preface i got 100%, but i did love your 1943! KIDS AREN'T GETTING THIS BUT I AM- (the look on your face) LOL. The only question (s) i had to truly guess and luckily got right was the basketball question since i cannot remember the last time I saw a game. the Finnish question, URL, 1st computer virus was a pure hail mary guess, The atmosphere is roughly 78% and as sea level oxygen is 21%. I provide anesthesia for a living and when we have people breath oxygen before going to sleep we are actually performing deniitrogenation of the lungs through a greater partial pressure of oxygen which creates a greater FRC (functional residual capacity) and allows us to exchange oxygen via perfusion during periods where a person is not ventilating.
