At first I thought you said "Amis cons Epsom" which doesn't make any sense but on listening to your answer again I realise you are correct, your turn...

Kingsley, or Martin, manages to hoodwink an entire Surrey town...?
A Tolkien question (all that follows is about the books, not the films). Some people reproach JRRT for, in his most-read works, not giving female characters much of a look-in. It has to be admitted that compared to the other gender, they're few and far between.
In "The Lord of the Rings": apart from the most-prominent females -- Galadriel, Eowyn, and Arwen -- please name three other female characters who have a "speaking part", however small.

I've got the unexpurgated version.
Don't worry, that's perfectly normal.

You're right there: I had no expectation that I might be right, so didn't come back to check!

I haven't opened my copy to check, but I'll take a punt at:
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins
Goldberry
Farmer Maggott's wife

Thank you. (Are there that many more? I struggled to avoid thinking of the roles added by Peter Jackson)
Next up: What connects the following:
Lithium
Carbon
Cadmium
Nickel
Zinc
Silver

They're all chemical elements, or is that too simple?

It goes a little deeper than that. You can also have (for free) that they're all metals, but they have something else in common.

Yes. They're all metals used in (relatively common) batteries: Zinc Carbon, Lithium Ion/Polymer, Nickel Cadmium, Silver Oxide, Lead Acid, etc.
I'd also have accepted 'wires' as something that connects them.
Your circuit...
I count two more, per book: Rosie Cotton (Sam's young lady), and Ioreth (the gabby old nursing woman in Minas Tirith).

Carbon isn't a metal, although it behaves like one in that it conducts electricity when in the graphite form

Carbon 12 and Carbon 14?

That's stable compared to a lot of people I know.
BTW I think Carbon is awesomeJust a little unlucky...
On average I'd agree - so is there an outside chance it might be Carbon 13?

Correct. Dropped the electron on that one.

Are you positive?

No need to be negative, that was a good 'un. In fact you should charge for jokes like that.

Thanks for the C2H5OH, I usually mix it with dihydrogen monoxide in a ratio of about 1:3.
Next question:
What is the meaning of this gesture?

That's right, Fleming's left hand motor rule:
thuMb - Motion
First finger - (magnetic) Field
seCond finger - Current
There is a right hand dynamo rule, I'd like to think it was Coffin's but it probably isn't.
Your turn...
An A-Level in physics used to answer forum quizzes.
I think Fleming did both hand rules but I vaguely remember someone else having a right hand rule too. So many memories sitting in physics tests watching others trying to decide which hand it was.
When would ?
A + B = S + W
