Day 5: Ishigami
Okay so I have a theory for why Senku’s hair has green tips:
Senku’s hair is very light blond or he's even potentially albino because of his red eyes
In the presence of certain chemicals (e.g. chlorine), blond hair can turn green
Senku has spent most of his life messing around with chemicals, even in the stone world, and its damaging his hair
Thus, Senku’s hair is permanently sticking up (frizziness from bleach damage?) and the older ends are most green from all the chemistry he does.
(fun fact: the experiment he's doing is electrolysis of copper chloride solution, which uses a current to separate the solution into copper and chlorine, the main culprits of turning hair green in pools :D)

Day 10: Friendship!
I like Magma, I like François and I like bread. I think Magma would make nice bread. I have no particular theories today because all I know is basically covered in the manga already lol
other than my main question of why did they find wheat before rice when Japan is a rice country??

Day 3: Kingdom of Science
You’ll notice everyone in Ishigami village has either tan or blue-green coloured clothing. And, at least in European history, deep blues and purples were amongst the hardest colours to achieve, so they were usually reserved for the richest of society. So why is Ishigami village full of it?
Turns out, Japan has a history of indigo.
Between that and fermenting fruits or using vegetable skins for yellow, they should be able to reasonable achieve all of the colours we see in the manga/anime.
Fun facts about indigo:
Japan still has at least a few indigo farms left (and at least one of them is near Mt. Fuji)
You can dye leather with it (awesome, since I'm pretty sure everyones wearing animal skins rather than woven fabrics)
It doesn't need a mordant, which means the process is a lot simpler compared to other dyes since you don't need to add anything extra
Samurai used to wear indigo-dyed fabrics because they are both antibacterial and repel dirt
The resulting fabric is flame-retardant (up to 800ºC apparently??), which is something Chrome definitely benefitted from lol
(P.S. yes I’m pretending their clothes are fully dyed and not actually a different colour on the inside like they seem to be in the anime… let me have this)

Days 6+7: Kingdom of Science vs Empire of Might
Who would win in a battle of... height?
does anyone know if Senku’s height actually includes his hair or not because he's pretty short...

Day 8: Photograph!
This one is based off the Cottingley fairy hoax, where two girls took pictures with various 'fairies' in 1917. They proceeded to unintentionally trick a bunch of adults who ended up arguing for the next decade over the validity of the images (including Arthur Conan Doyle, who was a hardcore spiritualist despite writing Sherlock Holmes).
The fairies were, in fact, just little dolls or paper cutouts the girls admitted making, but even then some adults still didn't believe them :/
