- pg_is_a_butt 12y agoyup, me too. we went a step further and used a reaction with copper to create a thin layer of gold on the surface, then dissolved the gold, then extracted the dissolved gold. the teacher did a spiel about keeping it secret and how we would all be millionaires, then we did the math at how the .000001 gram of gold (or whatever it was... probably less than that) was worth almost nothing compared to the cost of expended chemicals. oh well.. off to history class.
