I must have missed this one. Did the aliens help us out? Or is there something even better from the tinfoilers? I should have realized there just have to be some alternatives. |

There is an error in the quiz. The Trinity bomb and Fat Man were plutonium implosion bombs but the Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima was an explosive uranium based weapon. So two elements were used in the fission chain reactions to create the atomic explosions – plutonium-239 at Trinity and in Fat Man and uranium-235 in Little Boy. My geeky nerd moment is now over. Cheers.
