Morning all, are our brains ready to show off
Pythagoras-eum is a new, but as yet unstable Radioactive Source. It is superdense, with a half life of 48 hours. The fatal dose is 20,000Bq.
One day, the college student on work placement decides to injest a sample of this element, which is exactly half of the fatal dose.
Sickness effects occur soon after, meaning he has to leave to Hospital.
Since the Hospital will not release him till he has less than 2% of the original dose, How long will he be in Hospital for?
Remember to show you working, and I shall reveal all later tonight. A nice easy teaser.
Please note that Pythagoras-eum is a fictional element created for the purpose of this question. As always, this question is aimed for our Science geniuses to keep those neurons at top use, compared to some of the annoying questions appearing everyday.
As of a poorly worded question on Monday regarding Forces and Energy, tomorrow AM will have a double show off chance.
