AU, from the Latin Aurum, the old name for gold

presco2201, do you suppose fare play could be a food fight in which contestants did not observe the rules of good sportsmanship? ( fair play) lol Mine is the misuse of infer and imply.

Belugas&PolarBears, Plutonium is not mentioned in the answer; however, Platinum (Pl) is.

I'm glad Ag wasn't one of the choices, I always get the symbols for gold and silver mixed up!

ColdMonkey, Use the red thumbs down. I am assuming that the setters then look at the question and responses to it

ColdMonkey, it would be nice if people anchored their answer to the question being asked as it's really annoying to find an answer but then find that the question is no longer there.

It would be nice to have some system of being able to offer better structured answers. Or at the minimum mark a question as being in need of requiring editing.

For more of a challenge, maybe put silver (Ag) in place of plutonium, or maybe argon (Ar).
