I remember a Qualitative Chemistry lab where everyone was handed a different powder to test and identify. I identified the potassium permanganate on sight. Not enough hubris to just hand it back to the teacher. :) Alex Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law. -- Sophocles (496? - 406 BCE)
