0 Guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Anybody good at chemistry? could it be a chemical reaction between sodium/potassium/lithium... and water/acid/gas. In watching youtube its fun to see the reactions. Unfortunately im not a chemist so dont know which chemical to use. The gas produced in reaction is same as used in zephyrs(flying)(which would be posionous to inhale) and the 3 has puzzled me also (temperatures of elements, atomic mass etc...)

That was the inspiration for the riddle.But a crucial element is missing from your answer ...

Unfortunately im not a chemist so dont know which chemical to use. The gas produced in reaction is same as used in zephyrs(flying)(which would be posionous to inhale) and the 3 has puzzled me also (temperatures of elements, atomic mass etc...) To your first question: Yes. And that darned -3 is important ... Sorry, keep trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 the Alaska Wildfires? - had a lot this past June Its pretty obvious that it has something to do w/ wildfires at this point Alaska because of the harsh climate; -3 degrees or worse. It also points to the Alaska Motto: "North to the Future" - yearning for fulfillment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 tiger_lily111 Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 We didn't start the fire! No. It was always burning ... a nascar crash...trying so hard to win, you end of crashing and taking out 3 or more drivings, then everthing's sparking and crazy because cars are flipping; engines exploding, metal dragging on the cement. Then there is a huge cloud of smoke from fire and oil and rubber. So long as everyone comes out ok & your driver wasn't swept up, the best part of the race! But sorry, not that either.

0 tiger_lily111 Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 (Severe) Drought, leading to Wildfires Dry ground/grass/forests/crops, in desperate need of water. The Palmer Drought Severity Index is used to determine long-term drought, with a score of -3 described as severe. In the U.S., a Red Flag Warning is used to warn that conditions are ideal for wildfires to begin and spread. Sparks (lightning, lit cigarettes, arson, etc.) can easily cause fires, which can spread quickly, change direction unexpectedly, and jump barriers. Smoke-filled air contains particulates and pollutants that can cause cardiovascular & respiratory problems, and lead to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
