week 3 - tute

here it is, the pickpocket;




TREASURE HUNT:
this weeks task is a treasure hunt, and no, not that kind of treasure hunt. For this task we had to search 10 questions on the interent. easy you say? think again. we couldn't use google or wikipedia. the two places where everyone goes for information. this made the exercise a little harder.

1. the worlds biggest machine is the large hadron collider which weighs 38 000 tons and at a cost of 3.5 billion euros.
