PROBLEM: The layout of this painting mirrors the plan for St. Peter's Basilica. In the center of this painting, a man wearing a purple shirt slumps against a box, scribbling on a sheet of paper at the bottom of some stairs. To the right of him, a man dressed in blue reclines on the stairs while reading a sheet of paper in his hand. On the left side of this painting, a small crowd gathers around (*) Pythagoras as he writes in a large book while kneeling. To the right, a small crowd watches as Euclid bends down and draws on a small tablet on the floor. For ten points, name this painting by Raphael depicting Plato and Aristotle walking together through the title building.

SOLUTION: Fine Arts

PROBLEM: After losing a contest to this character, Heracles briefly joined the Thiasus, his retinue. Some stories claim he was the son of Persephone and that, at Heras bidding, the Titans ate all of him but his heart, which Zeus put in the womb of his better-known mother. He is sometimes said to be the father of the Graces with Aphrodite, and he fathered Oenopion with Ariadne. Acoetes, the helmsman, was the only one spared when pirates attempted to sell this god into slavery, and he once drove his cousin Pentheus mad, luring him out into the woods where his Maenads tore him apart. For 10 points, identify this son of Semele, the Greek god of inspired madness and wine.

SOLUTION: Social Science

PROBLEM: When referring to electrons, it is approximately equal to the Fermi energy when the temperature is substantially less than the characteristic temperature. When equated with the electrical potential, it can be used to derive the Nernst equation and it is defined as the partial derivative of the free energy of a system with respect to the amount of a substance. For a substance in phase equilibrium the gas and liquid phase values for this quantity are equal. Sometimes known as the partial molar Gibbs Energy, for 10 points, name this "energy" that explains diffusion as particles flow from higher concentrations to lower concentrations.
