2014 Summer Hiatus Challenge -- Round 6, Day 1
Wow, what a day.
Meetings all morning, soccer practice this afternoon, then we painted the field and built the goals for games starting this weekend.
I honestly almost didn't get this posted.
Well, here it is. The final week of the regular season. There are a lot of folks still in the running for Wild Cards, plus everybody with a shot at the sixth Weekly Winner spot.
Good luck.

8: Sidney Altman shared a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering catalytic properties in this molecule named for the protein synthesis organelle in which it is found.
10: Gerhard Hertzberg used spectroscopes to advance understanding of the electrical structure of these molecules noted for having unpaired valence electrons.
