Specify which Rio Grande you refer.

Of course at the border of USA and Mexico.

Question 9: Do you mean "AT Spa Francorchamps"?

No, I mean the distance of the two tracks.

BonzaiJoe

The distance between them?
But we can't be quite sure.

Yes, the physical distance, in km. ( I should refresh my never existing English skills, 'cause it seems I can't express such an easy thing)

What kinda limousine is that? Only 600 kgs?


Have you ever seen a real limousine made by Trabant factory? ;D

Or... wait...

3, Mean monthly sunshine hours/year in Shanghai

Isn't this a bit overcomplicated? Am I right that it means "average yearly number of sunshine hours, divided by 12?"

Oh, monthly!!! CTG please divide my tip by 12 :)

Should have said "From point A to point B"
Yes, it is me. No, I'm not back at racing (for now...)

I clearly suck at Chem, missing by a long shot on one, luckily winning on the other one.
About Armenian league, I thought the same Akoss thought about a team being too strong and scoring a lot of goals.
Apparently, I completely underestimated how many countries have no coast sea
Yes, it is me. No, I'm not back at racing (for now...)

Of course not monthly, but YEARLY sunshine hours in Shanghai.

Btw Wikipedia says

HCN: Boiling point   25.6 to 26.6 °C; 78.0 to 79.8 °F; 298.7 to 299.7 K

Room temperature

Scientific use
For scientific work, room temperature is taken to be about 20 to 26 degrees Celsius with an average of 23°C (about 73.4 degrees Fahrenheit (°F), 293 to 299 kelvins (K), or 528 to 537 degrees Rankine (°R)).[4] For numerical convenience, either 20 °C (68 °F) or 300 K (80 °F) is often used, without being specified as "room temperature". However, room temperature is not a defined scientific term, unlike Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP); admittedly, STP has several slightly different definitions.

So at taking the higher values of 'room temperature' into account, HCN can be considered as a gas at room temperature. So both the gas and the liquid densities should be accepted as a correct answer, I think.

That's why it is not a good idea to ask a beugratós kérdés with a scientifically undetermined term (e.g. "room temperature) in it.

Room temperature means 25°C in laboratory practice. However, Russians say 20°C... :D

There is no scientific term 'room temperature', see my previous post. Sometimes it is said that it is up to 27°C. I see that at 25°C it is a liquid... but no-one says that it is unambiguous that scientifically the room temperature is 25°C...
