Freohr Datia Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) im chinese so i like jade *puts on nerd glasses* ahem, jade is in fact a rock not a mineral so you should save that for when integrity loves me enough to make the next question about our favourite rock or just leave the answer as jade in case he doesn't do so oh wait and Bismuth. bismuth is another element!

Naughx Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Iron, Gold, Platinum, Chromium, Bismuth, Copper, Silver, Zinc, Tin, Alluminum... and so on are all elemental metals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 minerals don't need to consist of more than one element, they just need to have a definite chemical makeup. so i don't think it matters that bismuth is an element. muscovite is probably my fave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Laufeyson Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 yeah it is and that's my answer lol QUESTION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVEN: What would your porn star name be?

That's what I thought too, that Fe could also be considered a chemical formula, just that some were saying that's not the case. Although if two irons bonded, I think that would make it Fe2? But anyway, I checked my college geology book which also called gold, silver, copper, and diamond (idk why I never thought of that even) "minerals made of a single element" soooooooo yeah, elements that fit the rest of the mineral requirements are minerals glad this argument could finally be settled as the question ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoesMad Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 So I was playing football in the park with some of my friends (i'm on defense right now) and it's the last series of the game because the sun has started to go down. It's fourth down, they're throwing for a touchdown, and it seems like they've got the winning score behind our coverage. But suddenly I get the greatest of ideas. "You know what, If I just jumped off of Dante's back then I could totally get the interception." I proceed to run straight towards him with absolutely no warning, jump, miss, kick him in the face, fall, lose the game, and go home in ridicule.

Refa Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Fair enough. Can't really think of any risks I've taken recently, unless procrastinating too much on my assignments and assuming I'd be able to do them in a shorter amount of time counts.

Makaze Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Standing on a forest with Eliwood to occupy Oleg at ~23 hit chance so that I can farm the arena and get Canas to Lv. 20. ~30 turns go by. I get Canas maxed out. Oleg hits Eliwood twice in a row, killing him.​​ (This happened a few hours ago.)

Tao Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'm not really a risk taker. I mean moving across the country was a huge risk and investment, but I'd still say it paid off. Maybe uh... taking out the Stephen King book last Friday instead of waiting for this Friday...? And ending up not liking it at all, because I realized I don't really like current American books.
