although i admit i had to look up what "Stickstoff" means in english because i wasn't sure


what is this "stickstoff" people keep referring to

I dont' recall seeing that word at all in the quiz.  Or at least it wasn't in the question or the correct answer ever.

It's the German word for Nitrogen as i know now. Because i knew what gas makes up most of the athmosphere, but i didn't know what it was called in english.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
