Lisbon, Portugal is the westernmost, mainland capital city in Europe.
I must've been careless yesterday as I looked to Scandinavia thinking I'd read "northernmost." :)
Today's Question:
In making jewelry, certain metals are mixed with gold to give it another tint. What metals are added to produce green gold? (three possible answers)
I don't know this one with any certainty and hadn't heard of green gold but I would guess one possible metal would be copper as it is green in certain states (as ore and I believe when oxidized).
