You don't literally want the answer electrons do you

At this point, I do! Indeed, in a circuit we represent the current as a "flow of charge" in an abstract sense. But in a circuit with only metal conductors (like the one I described) the charge is carried by electrons. These are negatively charged, so they move in the opposite direction to the so-called "current", i.e. from negative to positive.
This is a somewhat unfortunate accident of history, since charge signs were arbitrarily decided by early experimenters, before the electron was discovered. If they had happened to choose the opposite designation, then the electron would have positive charge, and electrons in a circuit would flow in the same direction as the current. Its antiparticle would probably be called the "negatron", and so what we know as Antitoons/Darktoons would probably have instead been called "Negatoons". Interesting stuff.

I had begun to scrape the bottom of the barrel for questions, but we got there! So, I'll hand out the rewards now (first and second place) and then we'll have a two-week breather. Jonster, do you want to host Season 2?

OK, sure why not?
And hooray for me!

I probably have a better chance of NOT screwing up here.

Congrats on winning the first season, Jonster!

Right then, you can start on the 24th, or later.

Well done Jonster

Thanks you guys

Wow. 2 weeks and this topic has already fallen to the second page.

Anyway as far as the quiz is concerned, would it be alright if I started on Wednesday afternoon at the latest? I have a friend coming tomorrow and I may not have time to give a question the next few days.

That's fine. Today's just the earliest day you can start, not the day you absolutely must.

Oops! It looks like I forgot to start the quiz! OK so here i come!

Question 1: Give me the chemical name for salt.

Sodium chloride.

I was actually looking for NaCl, but it's the same thing!

Question 2: When was the Donkey Kong Adventure dlc for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle released?

Just updated the topic title!

Hm, no one knows the answer to this question? Shouldn't be too relatively difficult....I may just ask another question and leave this one open.
