No cheating!
If we catch you Googling or engaged in other sneakery, we’ll make you write on the whiteboard 100 times:
Hadrons, which are composite particles made of quarks held together by the strong force, are categorized as either baryons (three quarks) or mesons (one quark and one antiquark). Scientists suspect that there are other kinds of hadrons, such as tetraquarks (exotic mesons) and pentaquarks (exotic baryons), but there is no conclusive proof.

Ouch! I'm afraid you only batted .500 on that batch, Connier.
Twelve out of 13, tomp2; all but the glittering fastener. I'm impressed. Welcome to the winners circle.
Eleven out of 13 is pretty darn good, Eric [Nelson]. Welcome to the winners circle.
OK, OK, tomp2; I will admit that "lustrous" might have been a better descriptor than "glittering." Now are you happy? ;o)
That's the cherry on top, OutInTheStiks.
Ten on the button, JanetinKY. You're in!
Good job, desk-bound parky. You got 11. Don't tell Kurt that I'm forgiving you for some missing designators (not to mention an errant apostrophe); the EIC says I've been grading too leniently.
