Im Innsbrucker Moustache gab es gestern das Grüne EU Pub Quiz "Do you know Europe". 85 Menschen haben mitgespielt, und es war nach übereinstimmender Einschätzung sehr schwierig. Über die Europa-Brettspiele haben sich die GewinnerInnen jedenfalls gefreut, und offenbar hatten sie Unterstützung aus den USA nötig um zu gewinnen. Mir hat's jedenfalls Spaß gemacht, und falls jemand noch Fragen oder die Antworten dazu sucht einfach bei mir melden.

Ich hätte eine Frage:
Warum gibt es keinen Bericht vom Gebi über das grandiose Abschneiden der GRAS bei der ÖH Wahl? (minus 4% in Innsbruck)
Weil ich mir derzeit mit der politischen Einschätzung etwas schwer tue, zu analysieren was das Problem war. Und am liebsten schreibe ich dann über Dinge, wenn ich glaube sie zu verstehen. Außerdem gibt es noch kein endgültiges Ergebnis der ÖH-Wahlen, weil die Zuordnung der FH-Mandate zu den Fraktionen noch nicht fix ist und deshalb die Stärke in der Bundesvertretung noch nicht endgültig.
Dass die GRAS an der Uni Innsbruck verloren hat ist natürlich nicht schön, dass sie einige Studienvertretungen und Fachschaften gewonnen hat (da gibts jetzt auch welche mit 100% GRAS bzw GRAS-Umfeld) freut mich dafür auch.

Lieber Gebi, Cadmium hat die Ordnungszahl 48 und nicht 42!!!!!!
42 wäre Molybdän...
Hi, ja steht in der Unterlage falsch drin, ist uns beim Pub-Quiz aber aufgefallen und wir haben es mündlich korrigiert. Hier habe ich vergessen, den Fehler herauszunehmen. Sorry.
Das hat tatsächlich jemand gewusst?
Also die Ordnungszahl kennt ma als Chemie-Student, aber den Schmelzpunkt von Molybdän....
Respekt!
gewusst hat jemand, dass es nicht cadmium sein kann, weil das eben 48 und nicht 42 hat und dass 42 molybdän ist. der schmelzpunkt bei MO liegt auch bedeutend höher (2623o Celsius), weshalb die fleißigen chemikerInnen beim pubquiz sofort protestiert haben :)
ganz klar mein fehler, ich falle leider nicht in die kategorie fleißie chemikerIn, es wäre mir niemals aufgefallen, dass da was faul sein müsste, und so hab ichs schlichtweg falsch aus dem alleswissendem internet abgeschrieben...
