Part 1 - Winner neutrino

Instructions for Round 1:

# All clues are anagrams (words/phrases/sentences with the letters rearranged) of the names of famous scientists/mathematicians.

# The numbers in brackets [x,y] tell you the number of letters in the first and last names.

# Punctuation used in the clues are only for aesthetic value, and do not appear in any way in the people's names.

# Answers must have the complete (as specified by the numbers in brackets) name.

Andre] 12:55 pm: yes he was kicked probably
[Kurdt] 12:55 pm: just a couple of minutes though
Gokul43201] 12:56 pm: I think turbo was thinking about the LBT when he answered Arizona
neutrino] 12:56 pm: az is so full of telescopes, he could've been thinking about any of them
[Kurdt] 12:56 pm: quite possibly Gokul
Hurkyl] 12:56 pm: I would imagine Arizona has clear air and clear skies, it seems a reasonable guess even if you didn't know of any telescopes. (Hawaii too!)
[Gokul43201] 12:57 pm: New Jersey too
neutrino] 12:57 pm: yes, great viewing conditions to watch your neighbour

[Gokul43201] 1:03 pm: ?
[Kurdt] 1:04 pm: It was vitamin B1
[Gokul43201] 1:04 pm: D = rickets?
[Hurkyl] 1:04 pm: I think that's all of us. (Except G01)

Andre] 1:07 pm: In Dutch W is Wolfraam too
Kurdt] 1:07 pm: yes you can tell the science questions in english pub quizzes favour astronomy biology
and the periodic table
Gokul43201] 1:07 pm: Kurdt, what's the etymology for carbon/charcoal
[Gokul43201] 1:07 pm: ?
[humanino] 1:07 pm: that's true Gokul, we had a discussion whether we should call it Lead Tunsten, Lead
Tungstate, or Lead Tungstanate...
Kurdt] 1:08 pm: charcoal was carbo in Latin
Gokul43201] 1:08 pm: carbo! thanks

[fuzzyfelt] 1:08 pm: I know carbonara means charcoal workers dinner
fuzzyfelt] 1:08 pm: or something like that
[Gokul43201] 1:08 pm: oooh, nice!
Evo] 1:09 pm: Great quizzes ! Thanks to Gokul and Kurdt!
[Kurdt] 1:09 pm: Thanks Gokul for the first quiz
[Gokul43201] 1:09 pm: As the name is derived from the Italian word for charcoal, some believe that the dish was first made as a hearty meal for Italian charcoal workers. Others say that it was originally made over charcoal grills. Still others suggest that it is so named because the specks of bacon and pepper in the pasta look like bits of charcoal. It has even been suggested that it was created by the Carbonari ("charcoalmen"), an Italian secret society.

Kurdt] 1:10 pm: aww turbo I waited but you were gone too long
[turbo-1] 1:11 pm: I had to leave Andre. It was very frustrating to see the question and correct answer(s) appear at once in a board update.​

 

[Kurdt]

Good job Evo!

 

[rootX]

did you write some program to do all this?

wayy too much work!

 

[Evo]

did you write some program to do all this?

wayy too much work!

No, it's all copy and paste. The risk of getting knocked out of chat means that I must copy and save every 2-3 lines to limit the amount of lost posts.

Which is why I can't participate in the quizzes.

 

[Gokul43201]

The chat's pretty empty right now, but if enough people show up I'll make another short Science related word game (with a different format).

 

[Gokul43201]

Evo, could you PM me the transcript, if you have it?
