[Pirez]

Today?

[Greengoop]

1854?

[DaveRattlehead]

Greengoop is closer

[Rsandee]

That's in the ballpark of what I'd guess. I'm just going to randomly go with 1903.

[DaveRattlehead]

Hot, hot, hot!

[Giant Chicken]

1894?

[DaveRattlehead]

Colder...

[dr_st]

1905?

[Reese Riverson]

1910?

[Rsandee]

Ah yes 1908 it was, I remember the day well.

[DaveRattlehead]

1910?

And Reese is correct!

Fun fact: Mexican's civil war in the game Red Dead Redemption is based on this real event. However, in the game it was set in 1911.

This one should be another easy question.

Actually, let me try seriouly. Lactam indicates a type of milk or something so I'll guess laundry softener?

[DaveRattlehead]

No, I'm afraid not!

[DaveRattlehead]

It's a specific material

[DaveRattlehead]

Mmm I guess it's time to change the question.
The answer was to synthesize Nylon 6.
