Re: QUIZ - Wednesday 14th July


In 1829, scientists discovered that it was the compound called salicin in willow plants, which is responsible for pain relief. But it was father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, who first discovered the pain relieving properties of the willow plant in the 5th century, B.C.

Have to recap - 3 points to the nearest there. I would have accepted 5th century BC too - although I guess you would have had to chew the willow bark then!

Q8. What does an anemometer measure?

3 points to Eileen there, 2 to Shelley and 1 to CM.

Eileen - I only knew my grandparents' names when I started!
