"...Um..."


"Hm? What's wrong?"


"...Yuuji, when were the Taika Reforms again?"


"You're already a third year and you still don't know? You really are dumb, Shouko."


"...We haven't been taught that part yet. You're just too smart."


"It's easy to memorize. Just remember 'Accident-Free Reforms'[1] [2]."


"...'Accident-Free'?"


"It's because there were no accidents that occurred during the Taika Reforms. Make sure you remember that. "


"I will."



"They happened in the year 625."



"...All right, I've memorized it."


"Good. Make sure you remember."


"...Don't worry, I won't forget."




The First Question

Please answer the following question:


To reduce the weight of frying pans, magnesium is used in the manufacturing process. However, this will cause an undesirable result when used in cooking. Describe what happens and name an alloy that could be used to replace magnesium.



Himeji Mizuki's Answer:


A violent chemical reaction will occur when magnesium is exposed to direct fire, causing it to burn. Instead, duralumin could be used to replace magnesium.


Teacher's Comment:


Correct. The question specifically asked for an alloy, so answering "iron" would be incorrect. You weren't tricked.
