6.022 X 10 to the 23rd?
me:
Mole
him:
He said something like avocado theorem.
me:
The number of atoms of carbon in 12.01 grams of carbon.
Avogadro's number.

I'm sure few other teams got it, either.
Famous my ass.
me:
It is the absolute necessity for chemistry to work, to be able to mix items and know how much of each is needed to make the desired amount of product.

I'm so glad that chemistry makes people think of me!
Sometimes I miss teaching... but I never miss grading lab papers!
Good to know folks aren't afraid to reach out to me for science.
