This is a cute concept, but it probably only can have a time limit of 2 minutes, because there are only 50 possible two-letter combinations to try. Or you could have a longer limit, like three minutes, and expect them not to type in the two letter symbol, but the element name that has that symbol.

Might want to add Cb as a bonus answer, for columbium, the old name for niobium.

Pyrophorus: I've added Cb. Not sure how to make the last item invisible, since the "hint" column is blank, the answer (symbol) column is column 2, and the element's name is in column 3. Thanks.
