	Fun quiz! As a shameless plug, I made one of these with U.S. state abbreviations a while back: http://www.sporcle.com/games/puckett86/state_country_abbr. I think yours is harder and thus more fun.

	Qué?

	My father is a chemist and my mother is a web designer. I blame them for my 0/55 on this quiz... (we never really got along)

	Wait... Spain is Einsteinium? Oh, Espana! Still no justification for Solomon Islands being Antimony. (Got 32 correct with 84%)

	Wonderboy:	Jul 28th, 2010 at 04:46 GMT	7 points
	@Captain - Antimony's atomic symbol is Sb which is short for stibnite, the common name of antimony sulfide. As for the country code, the 's' is probably for Solomon and the 'b' was most likely given because there were too many 's' country codes.

	Good quiz- but why under "Just For Fun?" Its more of a science-geography mix. I probably would put this in science considering that the answers are elements. If not Science, Geography. Or maybe even Miscellaneous. But Just for Fun? C'mon. Just for Fun is for 60 second blitzes, April Fool quizzes, and goofy quizzes like Things Meat Loaf/Love and The Impossible Quiz.

	@Tom: Have we reached the tipping point where Kyrgyzstan has gone from wacky lovable country to so so yesterday?

	shel99:	Jul 28th, 2010 at 11:10 GMT	3 points
	Great quiz!

	@GeoExpert - in my many years of studying science, and specifically chemistry, it's never been important for me to match internet codes with elemental symbols, it's the kind of thing one might to in their spare time, perhaps just for fun. Also, the answer in the box should ALWAYS say Aluminium, not Aluminum. Rules is rules.

	@zertrudetrout: go Brits!!! AluminIum ftw!!!! (i got 15-55 btw)

	It's weird that Silver isn't the answer for Argentina, given that's what the country is named after.

	rockgolf:	Jul 28th, 2010 at 18:55 GMT	5 points
	I tried a quiz where words could be formed by combining various internet country domain codes. Jordan + Kenya = JO/KE. Canada + Slovenia + Norway = CA/SI/NO. Vatican City + Gibraltar + Namibia... well, you get the picture. It was a massive failure. This is a much better idea. Well done.

	@caramba: To recycle your comment from the country names in Russian quiz, looks like we have reached "that tipping point where no one wants to hear about Кыргызста́н ever again and everyone's clamoring for Вануату."

	caramba:	Jul 28th, 2010 at 19:02 GMT	3 points
	@skSK: Oops - I thought I had made that comment to another of the editors, not on a quiz. But thanks for the reminder about the Russian country names quiz - I forgot about that one!

	GeoExpert:	Jul 28th, 2010 at 21:08 GMT	2 points
	@rockgolf: A massive failure? What was wrong with it? It sounds like a wonderful quiz idea.

	caramba:	Jul 28th, 2010 at 21:14 GMT	2 points
	@GeoExpert: It was a wonderful idea, but only rockgolf and I and 33 others actually took the quiz. Highly recommended: http://www.sporcle.com/games/rockgolf/please_remain_com

	that was a great quiz, i liked it :)

	Am I the only one who found it ironic that Germanium = Georgia or Americium = Armenia? xD.

	tom:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 00:37 GMT	3 points
	@Caramba: Sorry, I missed the memo but I'll be sure to remember. Nice quiz anyway!

	Tavix:	Jul 31st, 2010 at 01:13 GMT	3 points
	@DragoonKain: It's even more ironic once you realize that France is the only logical one.

	Tronxic:	Jul 31st, 2010 at 23:50 GMT	3 points
	Who else almost put Iron for Iran?

	daHOOK:	Aug 7th, 2010 at 23:12 GMT	1 point
	@DragoonKain : I noticed that both France and Gaul had their element listed.

	sporclover:	Aug 11th, 2010 at 00:39 GMT	4 points
	One of the most challenging quizzes I've met on sporcle. Thumbs up!(and 5 orbs)

	Krzysztof:	Oct 28th, 2010 at 00:16 GMT	2 points
	A tough quiz for me, the English names of elements are a real challenge. We just use the shortened names in Polish (astat, brom, nobel, einstein etc. without those difficult to remember Latin endings). It made me try to type argentum, argentium instead of silver, because I couldn't switch from Latin back to English :(

	This quiz isn't too bad...but it's hard. :-/

	Yvonne_india:	Nov 18th, 2010 at 11:44 GMT	1 point
	Great quiz. I ended up working out the two-letter chemical symbols, then finding a matching country code.
