10 out of 11. And that one was a dumb mistake.
Missed "Stibium". When it popped up I immediately thought 'Stannus' and click on tin. This post has been edited by derf: Sep 24 2007, 04:04 PM |

Cool quiz mz
 You answered 7 items out of 11 correctly. Your score is 64%. Not bad. You either know your chemistry or else you make great guesses |

5/11 isn't so bad when you consider I haven' seen the periodic tables in 8 years.

I actually hate to post this number. Kismet I guess.
Nine of eleven correct. 81%. The two I missed - I had no idea at all about. Smoked me... ha ha! No wonder I barely passed the two Chem classes I ever took. At least I can't be blamed for blowing up a lab. -------------------- The only easy day was yesterday....

I always thought there were only four elements: earth, water, air, and fire.

Sheesh.
( You answered 10 items out of 11 correctly. Your score is 91%. Excellent job! Are you a chemist, an alchemist, or just really smart?) Haven't thought about these for over 40 years. 10/11 is a bit of a surprise - the old brain is not quite as rusty as I thought. Took quite a bit of cogitating though. Missed Natrium, which is really one of the easier ones .

Your score is 91%. Excellent job! Are you a chemist, an alchemist, or just really smart? I'm a genius, actually. Except when it comes to the TV Daily Quiz, the creators of which are apparently obsessed with soccer. -------------------- Lib. Free or Die

OMG!
 You answered 11 items out of 11 correctly. Your score is 100%. Excellent job! Are you a chemist, an alchemist, or just really smart? I haven't seen the periodic table since last year in... ahem... Ricks... DX *Plunges straw through Ricks voodoo doll* And I didn't even memorize the elements. Knowing your Latin roots help a lot
