UPDATE:  This round is over, please see thread entitled "Puzzle: Part 2, The Battle Begins" for the next round.



NaCl+H2O , NaCl+H20
----------------------------
C C C C C C C

Can you guess it?  It\'s from a website by a Chemistry professor at UGA.  I couldn\'t figure it out!  I\'ll give the answer in a little while.  

UPDATE:  Aaron solved this one!  One gold star:

Here\'s the next puzzle:

A doctor has a brother who is an attorney in Alabama, but the attorney in Alabama does not have a brother who is a doctor.

How can this be?

UPDATE:  JediMaster got this one!  One Gold Star:

Here\'s the last one for today:

It is in the rock, but not in the stone;
It is in the marrow, but not in the bone;
It is in the bolster, but not in the bed;
It is not in the living, nor yet in the dead.

What is it?

UPDATE:  Dang, JediMaster again!  Another Gold Star:

So after day one:

Aaron :

JediMaster:

I think I\'m going to change the format tomorrow to the point that people have to PM their answer.  So I\'ll see you @ 1:00 AM EST (my post shows 5:06 PM EST).  You\'ll have 24 hours to PM me the answer to the next question.  I think I\'ll throw in some PS2 trivia too.  It\'ll be a new thread.

Well, we\'ve got Sodium Chloride (Table Salt) and Water. That would give us salt water but that\'s obviously not the answer. I doubt the real answer has anything to do with chemistry. I\'ll keep thinking about it though...

You are so close!  Think of another name for salt water.  The bar in these puzzle\'s usually translates to "over."  I\'ll see if you can get it from there.  But you\'ve done all the Chemistry work you need to!  (Somebody has some brains in here.;))

i used to do this stuff all the time, can sort of remeber it.....i may look it up, i cant remember what the commor does. but it will just be salty water..
as the man said
Na= sodium
Cl=clouride
H= hydrogen
O=oxygen so wouldnt it just be NaClH2O???!!!! instead of NaCl + H20 :D

wait i remember i think wold it be

2NaClH2O or something like that??!!

That\'s some great chemistry, but Aaron was much, much closer.

Carbonated Salt Water?

I haven\'t taken chemistry since the 9th grade so I have no idea what C stands for.

Is the answer Soda(Pop, for my midwesterners)?

Is there salt water in soda? I know there is salt and water........???? Damn I\'m confusing myself.

Sorry for the confusion, but the "C" does not stand for carbon, and the bar stands for "over."

saline, saline "over" (the) 7 C\'s

Sailing, sailing over the seven seas!

Awesome!  That\'s a lot quicker that it took me!  (But then again, I didn\'t get any hints! ;))

Congratulations!  Sorry, but I don\'t have any prizes!  I\'ll see if I can find some more!

Aaron solved the last one!  One gold star:

Here\'s the next puzzle:

A doctor has a brother who is an attorney in Alabama, but the attorney in Alabama does not have a brother who is a doctor.

How can this be?
