Very nice, much harder than I expected. I was sure Ytterbium had "Yt", not "Yb", as its abbreviation, but apparently not.

Tried this several times and can't seem to get more than one before I get faked out and think one of them isn't real. Really tough but good quiz.

This was a lot harder than I thought. But it was still fun anyway!

I have a fake element Quiz too, but it would be easy for Max, since I have fake names, not symbols. Here's a link if you want to see... http://www.sporcle.com/games/Briana83/real_element

Ah yes, Fu. It may not be an element but it's definitely symbolic.

It took me much too many repeats to realise that it wanted the fake elements to be picked. *facepalm*

First one I clicked nailed me. Apparently they've renamed hahnium to dubnium, giving it the symbol Db.

At least show us the answers. Dumb quiz. Let me guess- a bunch of dislikes for me because whenever a negative comment is posted on beloved Sporcle all you fanboys do is troll

I'm still hoping the programmers can figure out a way for us to mark the correct ones so we won't waste time looking at them.

57th percentile for getting only 1? Does that mean I am not as dumb as I feel?

Easy, just pick the ones that sound like words. Well, some of them. Enjoyed Fu, though.

It would have been interesting to see some fake answers that were just one letter long.
