A quick sip from the trivia cup:
24 carat gold is not actually pure gold, there is a small amount of copper in it. Absolutely pure gold is so soft that it can be moulded with the hands and would therefore be off no use for jewellery.

The Cusp of Energy. The Taurus-Gemini cusp is an admixture of the second sign of the zodiac, Taurus, and Gemini. This cusp may be symbolically likened to the period around fourteen years of age in the human life and falls at the beginning of late spring in the northern hemisphere. The Taurus-Gemini cusp may be said to represent Energy. In human development, at the age of fourteen adolescence is usually under way and the young teenager bids farewell to childhood. This is a period in which energy plays a key role - in terms not only of output, but input.
