Well, copper is causing me a lot of pain. Doesn't help that it's the middle of the night either... :s-smilie:

if i could find the amount of energy required to heat 1kg of air i would be able to do it :P it really is to late/early to do this -.-

I've gone as far as deciphering that the volume of the room is 150m3. Other than that I'm lost. Can't believe that someone has already completed it :eek:

I find it frustrating too - chemistry calculations aren't my strong point either, so I might have to sleep it out and try again tomorrow. It will get to the point though where I will get distracted by this and not do any schoolwork, haha.

I know, I want to have that sense of achievement :smile: Good luck with trying to complete it, I might stay up for another hour then just leave it for tomorrow if there's no progress.
