Yeah - I was wondering about that? Trick question, or poor choice of variable names? :?

both

you better assume 'the romans' are lumped together ,, like birds of a feather ,,,,
it's has a dot in the answer ,, that's the only clue

Does that mean you won't except 4.29? :wink:

Well done dude ! 8-)

Nope......too late. 8-) 8)

I'll take a shot anyway...

B/ Pick the odd one out:
a) brick
b) clay
c) sand
d) glass

c) sand - unlike the others, it's yet to be kilned.

The mud is still called clay even before it has been cooked.

Sand is a component of the other three...

Of course - you're right.

I think I've lost the plot. :lol:

That one also crossed my mind - although I really don't think the extremely fine silt that makes up clay would be considered "sand".

Soil particles are divided into sand, silt, clay and colloids.

My reason for choosing glass - it is an amorphous solid. Sand, Clay, and Brick (fired clay) are all collections of teeny pieces.

Zemlin: You may have the right answer after all...
Glass: Any of a large class of materials with highly variable mechanical and optical properties that solidify from the molten state without crystallization, are typically made by silicates fusing with boric oxide, aluminum oxide, or phosphorus pentoxide, are generally hard, brittle, and transparent or translucent, and are considered to be supercooled liquids rather than true solids.

That is also a controversial claim not supported by any scientific evidence that I am aware of - but material science it is not my area of expertise.
