New series!!:

 

I am currently learning about the periodic table of elements in school, and it’s pretty interesting, so I thought I would make a series of 118 mysteries. Each one is a mystery about one specific element on the table. This series is being ˝ done by Myth0cal. I am doing all the odd numbered ones and he’s doing the evens. 

 

There will be a puzzle involved in each one. All caches will be in this relative area.

 

Some puzzles will be harder than others, some will be easier to get to than others.

 

ATE (All The Elements)

 

ATE 3 - Lithium:

 

 

Lithium has 3 protons and 3 electrons. It has an atomic weight of 6.941. Or just under 7. 

It was discovered in 1817 by:

 

Johan August Arfwedson

(Click his name if you want to learn more about him)

Lithium is a soft alkali metal that appears silvery-white. It is very shiny. It gets its name from the Greek word lithos, meaning stone or rock. It was named by Johan August, as he discovered it after all.

Some common uses of lithium are ceramics, batteries and heat resistant glass. It has quite a bit of uses, but a lot of them are “sciency” things.

 

The find is pretty easy, but please use stealth as the area is filled with muggles at all times. Some may even be right where the cache is at certain times of day.

 
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Congrats to Myth0cal and Cp8 for the Co-FTF!

Co ftf with myth0c0l. Our lucky day- 3rd ftf. On the 2nd ftf in applewood, I mentioned that we were from the “mythical couch potato species”. There were more than 40,000 questions about this species in the first hour alone. So I thought id give more background to quell the curiosity

The species originally evolved from the offspring of a sloth and a baked Idaho potato. It is a distant cousin to the legendary menehune species ( a mythical little troublemaker maker originating from hawaii). I hope this answers questions, on the next ftf we will add more history of the mythical couch potato clan
