	Please give feedback! Most picture quizzes have orderly grids; is this jumble still readable? Thanks for playing!

	Great quiz idea. However. Including oxygen is bound to cause confusion. It could be any of the following: Hydrogen, Helium, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon or Radon in liquid form. They are clear gases and liquids. You need a better picture of Bismuth. Bismuth is a silver shiny metal. That is a diagram of a crystal of it.

	The key with the oxygen is the blue tint to the liquid (liquid nitrogen for example is colorless), but I agree that it is subtle. Selecting elements for this quiz is somewhat hard as most elements are silvery metals. For these, I tried to show distinguishing features like rust on iron, a common use for lead, etc. The bismuth shows the crystals that the element can form; the colors result from a thin coating of bismuth oxide on the surface. So it's a real picture, not a diagram. I'd rather show a more representative picture as you suggest (eg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bismuth-3.jpg), but I don't think there would be enough to distinguish it from other silvery metals. I'm thinking of replacing selenium with phosphorus if I can find a good picture, since no one's gotten Se yet...

	Nice quiz, I think the jumbled pictures make it more interesting. Selenium was subtle, I went through pretty much every transition metal trying to guess it

	by far the most comprehensive website concerning bismuth, from a scientific perspective: http://backseat-jesus.livejournal.com/88947.html

	good quiz, i never knew what bismuth looked like / that crystal is bismuth
