Sulphur is spelt wrong, and also perhaps write in arsenic necessary for life too, as it is. but otherwise good attempt

"Sulphur" may be spelled wrong, but "sulfur" is spelled right. (Seriously, it should accept either the British or American spellings.)

My apologies. I did not know that the British primarily use "Sulphur" to refer to the element. In North America, it is primarily "Sulfur." That is now fixed to accept both variations.

@chux: silicone is a polymer containing some silicon, therefore many people ARE part silicon, and part silicone.

Maybe specify the percentage is by mass? 10% for hydrogen felt so wrong since the human body is roughly 60% H2O.

I absolutely suck at anything related to the periodic table, so I'm super-happy that I managed to get 12/18 (including cobalt! not sure where I even came up with that one...), plus a bonus. This may be an indication that the time is too long, but I'm still happy.

Also, it's probably by weight, or hydrogen would be way higher.
