Which of these substances would be attracted to a magnet?

"Stainless steel" is too broad a category to answer meaningfully.

I am more into chemical attraction....
or animal magnetism

glue, ketchup, porcupines

Topper....not to mention refrigerators!

All objects are attracted to all other objects by virtue of their mass causing gravitational effects. I have answered the quiz on magnetic attraction only.

If the magnet were sexy...

so, bill... drum roll?

yes Bill, we're waiting!!

Hey, is a magnet attracted to a magnet?

Magnet: A true "stud" metal. It always attracts!!

Oh, I have no idea which are attracted to magnets sorry. I bet daver knows though... Well, I could guess: iron and steel (steel is just an iron alloy). Stainless steel generally is not. But, I was surprised by daver's comment -- so, I probably don't know.

Wicksy, magnets are generally made of iron that has been magnetized (the atoms in the iron have been aligned as to create a force). You can make steel and especially iron magnetic by rubbing it in the same direction over and over (this aligns the atoms, you can do it with a magnet and a paper-clip). I hope you've had the opportunity to play with two strong magnets (maybe in grade school science class?). They have "poles"; one side of the magnet repels the other magnet while the other side attracts the other magnet strongly. Of course, I'm talking about standard strip magnets, other shapes (that don't have cear sides) do other things.
I think the deal with stainless steel is that it's crystal metallic form has been conditioned in such a way that the atoms in it don't want to change their alignment and thus it doesn't respond. I making this all up though. Hopefully, daver will correct me.

I have three flat refrigerator magnets that have no poles. They each stick to the fridge, and to each each other in any orientation, in any direction. Go figure.

too weak perhaps?

**bill: Flexible magnets don't have a pole at each end. If you could map the magnetic field on one, you'd see rapidly alternating poles (usually 10-20 per inch). If you stick two together and slide them, you can feel them hopping from pole to pole.

I picked the first three plus tin.

this was an interesting field trip for my refrigerator magnets..they send their thanks..they don't get out much...for that matter neither do I or I wouldn't have spent that much time researching this...

Is this a science or romance question? (kidding)

topper: Milk nose, big time! Thanks a lot... ;)
