Oh boy, it figures Doug would go and insult the UK Atomic Energy Authority
on a Friday before he has had his Diet Mt Dew! The quiz element has 30

The FEQAB suggests Doug use his slide rule to determine which isotope
comprises the 125 grams! More details when the Quiz answer is released
later today.
