A few years ago there was a thread wherein I was asked questions of a nature trying to stump me. How many farts would it take to make another Sun, What is the speed of the top of your bike tire -vs- the bottom of your bike tire, that kind of thing.
Bella asked which mineral is most abundant in the Earth's crust. I misunderstood and responded with the most common element, which is Oxygen. She correctly informed me that Mica and that group of minerals is most common.
Well, Science waits for no man! (Or woman!) Just read an article stating that Bridgmanite has been found to be #1. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news ... h-science/
