      St. Enoch was a big noise in the Midlands so I'll guess Birmingham.

      Glasgow indeed. The third oldest subway in the world.

      Your question.

      I have a slightly (very) woolly memory of a building where someone was pushed out of a window to hang them in some kind of turbulent time - I think an official building like a courthouse, but I'm very vague about it.

      edit - right story, not nearly enough detail though :D

      Right story but not where the window is located now. That building is now a bank.

      It's on Market street I think? Named after the Judge (?) Lynch who hung his own son?

      Could be - I'm honestly not sure. I just remember the story due to the play on words of lynch/hang.

      Correct. Bonus point for the number of laws in the code?

      Your question.

      Three consecutive elements on the Periodic Table are named after three consecutive planets. Planets and Elements please.

      The only 3 consecutive planets would be Saturn, Uranus & Neptune (Saturnium, Uranium & Neptunium), seeing as Pluto got demoted or am I being pedantic.

      92-94 are Uranium, Neptunium and Plutonium

      Mars Jupiter Saturn for example??

      Pluto is still being debated.

      I agree with /ted
      he is being pedantic :D

      And if Pluto is still a planet it means there are 4 consecutive

      I meant consecutive elementy-named ones, didn't explain well.

      Saturn = saturnium
      Uranus - uranium
      Neptune - neptunium
      Pluto - plutonium

      4 planets in sequence and 4 elements
      :cool:

      No such thing as Saturnium. The other 3 are in sequence in the Periodic Table.

      Protactinium comes before Uranium. And there is no chemical element Saturnium.

      If Plutonium is to be included then there is a case to be made for Cerium and
      Palladium. Let us not forget Tellurium.
