    This puzzle has two answers; both are names of individuals associated with the object of the rhyme. To get to the answers you need to decipher the rhyme. The image should help narrow the field of potential answers considerably.

    Fundamental to matter,
    I am the king of chemistry,
    The mover of the modern world,
    you can't deny my electricity,
    Am I this? or am I that?
    I confound with my duality,
    But I'm not that complicated,
    simply ask De Broglie!

    Answer to post 932 :

    Go to Amazon (the rain forest with the colorful native species) and search for uranium (you=U=uranium).

    Filter by the department 'Industrial & Scientific'. The product with most reviews = this


    Read the funny reviews.

    The puzzle will not work with amazon.in, amazon.ca, etc because U.S. products are not all available globally.

    If only you stopped watching TV you might get more work done!
    And, don't forget to drink plenty of fluids, your brain needs hydration!

    Will post the answers to the previous puzzle soon. Found this one online. Seems quite interesting. I haven't solved it yet. If you can solve it, post an image here! Be good and don't Google!

    There should atleast one other Gauri even if as rare as Rh null in population of 7 billion not to construe the pictures as

    1# Internal combustion engine
    2# Rudolf
    3# Diesel

    And the narrative with slight crank can be shoehorned to fit him (Reid technique of interrogation: tell me you had something to do with 'scania'). Would you like me to explicate in a soft & gentle tone or thunderous inveigh (reserved for only one gentleman here). Incidentally I was thinking about you recently while watching Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey (2014) , the episodes on Brahe and Bruno. Have you followed the series? Which one do you like Sagan's voyage or Tyson's odyssey?

    I don't think I can attach pictures as new lite but applying lateral thinking not just out of the box but out of the room , can't the two parallel sticks in third column (single square) be relocated to fourth column (single square) , one horizontal , another vertical to divide the square into 4 smaller squares.


    4 same size big squares
    4 same size small squares.

    Hmm, the puzzle is too facile so I am sure I'm wrong! :biggrin2:
    On that note of physics and chemistry, have you swiped your hand across Tuva project hosted by Billy G? You may find it interesting. I cannot paste any links as new iLite.
