That's also the only 2048 version I can understand, much less be interested in!

"And then there was...that guy..." haggis said, snapping her fingers to indicate it was on the tip of her tongue. We were watching a BBC documentary about chemistry.

"Lavoisier?" I said.

"Yes!" she said.

We chattered on about the topic under discussion on the TV -- Joseph Priestley (I'm so glad diffrentcolours said he confuses him with J.B. Priestley, too, because I always worry it's just me who does that...) and his "dephlogisticated air" -- for a few seconds.

Until Jim Al-Khalili said, "...Antoine Lavoisier..." on the TV, and diffrentcolours said "Yeah, Lavoisier, you guys just said that. You keep saying everything they say, like ten seconds before they do."

I thought that was a very nice compliment.

(Especially after I'd forgotten a few of the stages in how increasingly-heavier elements are made at the cores of stars, thanks to diffrentcolours telling me about this awesome version of the 2048 game. Gordy, my college astronomy teacher, would've been most disappointed in me for forgetting about deuterium, and the different isotopes of beryllium.)

ty for the link. I've beat it already (ha!) and am now smugly watching my friends struggle with it. :3

I'm sure that's what it's there for. :)

Does the 3rd ep talk about heavy elements being made in stars? Cos I loved the first 2 eps, but the the 3rd is boring me so far...

I don't know; I have only seen that one episode. But we were talking about stars just because of the 2048 game. It was just a coincidentally scientific day. :)

AHAHAHAHA JIM AND HIS SHINY BALDY HEAD IN HIS PE KIT!
3rd ep worth it for that alone :)
