Problem: Chlorine (bleach) is extremely difficult to wash off the human body. Why? - Because it chemically bonds to the body's proteins. From a chemical standpoint the exterior of the human body (eg. Hair, skin and nails) is made from proteins. All proteins are made from amino groups, which have nitrogen atoms, also called amines. Bleach chemically reacts with amines, forming a layer of chlormaines which is chemically bonded to the human body. Experts in sanitation refer to this layer of chloramines as “chlorine cover”.

What does it mean to dominate a competition? Not just winning the competition. But winning by a lot -- in other words "crushing" or "demolishing" the field. By how much did the winner win? Was it a close race? Or was it a blowout? Here people often look at the margin of victory -- the difference (in score or time) between the winner and the loser.
