Answer to Question 1

Any of the following: acetone, acetoacetic acid, or hydroxybutyric acid

Answer to Question 2

Hemochromatosis is characterized by an iron overload in the body. As there are no excretory pathways for iron, excess iron is not easily excreted. It accumulates in tissues and organs leading to organ damage and scarring and permanent derangement of function. Signs and symptoms include: tan to brown skin, diabetes, cirrhosis, and heart failure

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
