Puzzle Description:
Tin is an element that has been in use over 5500 years ago. It has usually been partnered with other elements in order to exploit its uses. It resists corrosion, so it has been used as a thin covering over other materials, such as steel for cans. Tin is the main ingredient used in the Pilkington Process to make glass for windows. Many known alloys have tin as one of their ingredients. Tin and copper make bronze, tin and lead make pewter and solder, and tin and niobium mixed together create a superconductive wire.
