2) thundercrack83

3) ky72x

4) coolotter88

5) thundercrack83

7) thundercrack83

thundercrack83

9) thundercrack83

Hints on the unanswered:

1) It has to be a character that was in all six movies. Palpatine wasn't in episode IV.

6) It relates to the original statement

10) remember that pH is a logaritmic scale here. A pH of 7 means 10^-7 moles of H⁺ per iter, not zero.

[coolotter88 2]

1) r2-d2/kenny baker

[sarjm 1]

6) Aren't you bit big to be on the sidewalk?

10) 7

[Duke87 1,070]

1) no, it would be Anthony Daniels/C-3PO. R2-D2 was fully CGed in Episode III.

6) "Aren't ypu a little big for the sidewalk?"

10) Logarithmic scale. pH is -log(H⁺ concentration). If H⁺ concentration is 0, the -log of it is infinity. So truly pure water has a pH of infinity.

And, with that, this game now enters its second hiatus until I once again gain question inspiration.

[sarjm 1]

H₂O = H⁺ + OH^_

If H⁺ = 0, it's not water.

I like the game

4) It's a rather silly misspelling of a real word
