	Making the elements appear in order made it much easier, but great quiz

	Until now it had escaped me how many of the elements end in UM! Great quiz.

	Thanks for the science quiz DannyG!

	Oh, Antimony. How many quizzes will you elude me?

	whoops...kryptonite is NOT an element :)

	the last two lines of the element song help a lot

	Bismuth burns me AGAIN! That's always the one I forget in the regular periodic table quiz too.

	Somehow I missed Mercury and Silicon...shame, shame.

	how did I miss nitrogen? I feel so silly

	Thank you, chemistry class. Not that I really learned anything, but I spent long hours spacing out staring at the periodic table. I pretty much have the thing memorized, and that's about all I ever took away from college.

	@pbrown, I agree that having the elements put in order made this quiz much easier, but it also helped that I would spend hours on the original periodic table quiz until I had the whole dang thing memorized. I got this one on my first try.

	The first row of the Transition Metals is rife with these...

	ch7:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 02:17 GMT	0 points
	Almost missed Nickel...

	commprof:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 02:17 GMT	0 points
	I love these quizzes! I can't believe I actually got them all first try. Nearly quit on Tungsten.

	SexualCamel:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 02:21 GMT	6 points
	Started out with all the gases. Hydrogen, helium... dammit!

	Azrael:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 02:26 GMT	9 points
	I'd say that these elements are a bit more exciting than the others...sorry calcium and helium, you know it's true.

	ahh tungsten! Edison would slap me T_T 32/33

	simpleerrors:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 03:29 GMT	4 points
	wow somehow i forgot argon and lead. Nice quiz. time limit seemed a little extra, but it was nice.. those last 2 minutes helped me get 5 more

	kingstony:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 03:45 GMT	-1 points
	I thought it was spelled 'phosphorous'

	thisisaname:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 04:09 GMT	10 points
	Tom Lehrer's periodic table song is surprisingly helpful here: There’s antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium, And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium ... And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc and rhodium And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin and sodium.

	Got 'em all with 2:29 to spare. Which is weird, because I think that's only ever happened once for me. I rarely get everything. I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF!

	finally, a chemistry quiz where an american won't ask about why "aluminum" is misspelt.

	20/33. Wow, it's been a long time since high school chemistry...
