So black and white? Cowboy films were big so I'm guessing Clint Eastwood's character in Rawhide. Can't think of the name....

Alright, I'll have a go, and we're onto chemistry...

How did the element Hafnium get its name?

My old Latin tells me Hafnia is a place, but I was staring out the window at the girls in blue knickers when it was translated to English
So I will guess Scunthorpe

I agree it's named after where it was discovered, but can't remember where. I remember it was one of the last stable elements to be discovered, my higher chemistry was a very long time ago :/

You are correct on being named after the place of discovery. It's not Scunthorpe.

Oops, sorry!

I found out the answer myself a few hours before posting the question because of where I was at the time.

Probably right
Wasn't Copenhagen the venue for the meeting with Bohr and Scrodinger about Quantum Physics?
I think a play was made about it too.
Seems interesting to me poor sap that I am!
