Iron or Steel?

mild in Latin is lenis.

I searched on the Internet (Google and Wikipedia) and didn't find any words with 'lenis' connected to an iron or ferrous aluminum alloy.

Also, be aware that iron is made ductile but still strong by adding tungsten and/or vanadium while maintaining a low-carbon (0.1 to 1.0%) content, thus avoiding brittleness.

Hello Ragman, thank you for answering. I think I have found the answer!
A process, invented by P. Ostberg, for producing malleable iron castings by melting wrought iron, to which from 0.05 to 0.1 per cent of aluminum is added.

Should have added the answer is MITIS!

you're quite welcome.

I'd also found another Swedish metallurgist: Reinhold Angerstein http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinhold_Angerstein

Christ, there are some clever folk on here!

yes, Upandrunning is quite clever..answered his/her own question and educated me in the process.

Well I had no idea about the answer it baffled me totally, do you think I should study more, or just forget about it and let life go on, leave the egg-heads to sort the world out?

Trust me I didn't attempt my answer (notably wrong) without researching using search engines.

Well, I mitis well move on to another thread, now that this has been answered. (groan)

There's a time in life it's the better option...

Thanks Francis, Ragman, Mathos, Malek for joining in. It took me quite a while to get the answer. Many thanks for joining in.

Thanks for the compliments! But I have been trying to get the MITIS answer for over a week!! What about this one?

If JULIA has one child; DAWN has two children; ESMERALDA has three children; and ARABELLA has four children; then, logically, how many children does BRYONY have? I don't have the answer but have a few theories.

Tut! Tut! Francis.

I have a theory, too.

If you count the spaces enclosed in letters in the names, and count them only once in the same letter, you'll find out that BRYONY has four children.

Thank you Francis, would never have thought of that angle! I might just go with that.

Did they all have the same Dad?

Mathos said: Did they all have the same Dad?

If they did, I think I know who he was!!

Hi, Upandrunning. How's it going? Back from my hols and ready to quiz again.

Did you get the American Football answer eventually last month?

What about the film star connections. What was the answer?

Went to the quiz tonight that's run by Chris from Quizzyheights. No all correct answers so far but one 9 out of 10 getting (as I suspected) the Goats Head Soup, Cresta Run etc question wrong. Was it you?

He did tell me I had to think laterally but that the connection had nothing to do with sport. Not sure if that helps!

Good Morning Tufdevil, Welcome back. Hope you had a nice break. I was all correct on the last Quizzy Heights, thanks to you. This time it is the Goats Head Soup I've got wrong, Chris said go along with song lyrics, so it may be something to do with silver - as in bullet or rain!!! Film Star question was 'not using their first given name, so correct on that one. Still can't get my head around the children one.

Thanks Mathos, if they all had the same Dad, we are into children and step-children, but how do we work out how many Bryony had? Counting the spaces as you suggest, means that ARABELLA five children! All answers appreciated.

My English if often broken.

Let's see, ARABELLA:

A= 1 space
R= 1 space
B= 2 spaces

(Only once the same letter)

It makes 4 spaces= four children.


Do you count the same way as we do in France?
