@BIWI Yesterday’s was a physics one (Heat) which is an area I have quite a bit of knowledge in. It started “In (14 letter blank)” which I guessed as thermodynamics from some format/context lower down. Should have got it in 2 really.

It may also have helped that we'd had the Second Law of Thermodynamics a few weeks ago.

Yes that too! They do love a bit of physics. Which is fine with me, although undoubtedly not with everyone!

ErrolTheDragon · 10/08/2022 11:40

We hadn't had any physical sciences ones for nearly 3 weeks after a bit of a glut. I really don't think 'they like' anything, it's random.

No, I do realise that, it was a joke.

I prefer physics though.

ErrolTheDragon · 10/08/2022 12:08

I prefer chemistry - so thermodynamics and heat fine by me too.Grin

MissedItByThisMuch · 10/08/2022 12:54

Chemistry good too. And maths.

BIWI · 10/08/2022 13:17

No, no, no!!!

A nice bit of English Literature please Grin

Yes - it was the 14 letter word in the first sentence that made me think “thermodynamics”, and then “heat” seemed like a sensible guess.

If in doubt, it’s usually physics. Or stamp collecting.

Thank you. Never heard of it!

15, but googled when I hit 14, and had got the first word but had exhausted my ideas on the second. Wouldn't have got without google.

Plantstrees · 10/08/2022 18:06

Was always my worst subject so did really badly today and resorted to Google after way too many guesses!

ErrolTheDragon · 10/08/2022 19:28

Figured out the thing, but couldn't think of one with the right number of letters so found a list. Not sure if I'd heard of this one or not tbh. Then I typed both of the words in at once Hmm

If I hadn't counted the number of letters in the second word wrong I'd have done that in 3 🙄
