Same issue, Noggel.

Midgen, I shall have to come ensure you never forget that team again. I'm thinking a brand on your forehead, perhaps.

118/118 with 3:45 Remaining. I remember having that thing beaten into my head in every science class from like 6th Grade on. It's the synthetics that take me forever to remember.

43/118 :( Though I guess I haven't looked at a periodic table since my Materials Science class about 10 years ago, and even that was just a glimpse at two or three elements. Looking at the ones I missed, I don't feel too badly. Only a few were obvious. :p I also went to sleep at 7:30 this morning so I definitely get some handicap!! ...

Also...
Spoiler:
I knew 113-118, but couldn't remember the exact way way the words were put together. Probably spent a minute spelling and misspelling ununnium... which is in quiz (properly) as roentgenium. Quite unfortunate as the series continues on from 3 to 8 with ununtrium to ununoctiuim! Sneaky chemistry peoples.


I need a good one to rebound with after this. :p

edit: I don't see leaderboards anywhere. Perhaps there is a leaderboard system if everyone gets registered. I know it's common enough at trivia websites. They do have some neat stats though that you don't need a login for!

72/118 (and only half a dozen more that I "should" have known)

Nine-ish years of chemistry down the drain.

47/118 but was interrupted halfway through by my daughter and lost about 5 minutes off the test.

No matter how many times I entered "unobtanium", it wouldn't take it :)

Missed some embarassing ones. (sodium, nickel)

42/118 :cry: Wow- It has been so long since I looked at the periodic table. Honestly I started thinking about the Noble gases first and lights, then I started thinking of vitamins on a bottle and then all kinds of cleaning products. I actually got an obscure one but couldn't spell

Unobtanium

95/118.

I'm bad with the lanthanides, actinides and last row transition metals. I can guess some of them, but I've never really bothered learning any of the ones that aren't directly useful.

If you want a fun challenge, try entering them all in order :-D It's one thing to know the names, it's another to know exactly what goes where.

It should be yourself, Khross, or Nephyr, as I was the most recent of the three to choose.
