For a quiz I'm looking for a word of 23 letters that defines 'what shape is each bubble in a glass of beer'?
If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Bubbles in a froth on a flat surface form hexagons. In a three dimensional froth I suppose they might form some type of dodecahedron. But I barely know any words with 23 letters in them, much less the answer to this question.
buckminsterfullerballs.
although that's only 22 letters. so throw a hyphen in there somewheres.
ros - I'm surprised, you didn't think of bucky balls straight off.
you're smart and I'm an idiot.
maybe I came up with that because of my clear (empty) mind.
Keep it that way then Chai.
that was irony spendius :wink:
No it wasn't.It was a compliment.
have you ever seen one of those buckyball toy things that when you gives it a toss it expands tremendously and makes a huge buckyball?
It scares the sh*t out of cats, I'll tell you what.
I would think there would be a tendency for the bubbles to seek the shape of minimum surface area, which is a sphere.
Maybe it's Rbuckministerfullerballs
heybuckthatministerfeltmyballs
<snort>
ah, to be me. <sigh>
