	it's times like this where i wish i had taken chemistry instead of marine biology...34/118meh

	callaway17:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 04:27 GMT		49 points
	i'm not fast enough to get them all. i was on a roll, but ran out of time

	vogz:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 04:28 GMT		4 points
	ugh the only one i left out wass tungsten...knew the letter wasn't in the element...couldn't remember...ugh sooo frustrating!!! very possible to do though...time limit is definitely spot on

	Ecliptica:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 04:31 GMT		9 points
	Ahhhh, only one I missed was antimony. And the sick part was I just found that word in Boggle like ten minutes ago. Grrrrrr.

	yankeessuck8991:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 04:31 GMT		9 points
	101/118. never set foot near anything chem related ever. yay for quick fingers!

	let_it_go:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 04:50 GMT		9 points
	93/118. it's almost too fast to do if you get caught up on anything. i like it. more of these quizzes should be set up for imminent failure. encore!

	Shades703:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 04:57 GMT		7 points
	I would prefer just 20 more seconds, myself. I really didn't get that caught up... but I guess this is just one of those quizzes that forces you to actually know your stuff

	mokos:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 04:58 GMT		44 points
	55/118. I'd complain about the lack of time, but I'd get arrowed down. Oh, well. MORE TIME!!!!!

	MovieDynamic:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 04:59 GMT		25 points
	LOL, so much easier than the periodic table one.

	mattjvw:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 05:07 GMT		16 points
	17 seconds to spare. With a few exceptions (such as Antimony and Tungsten, that I was lucky enough to remember), it's pretty easy to guess

Comment below threshold: show it

	tungsten...need tungsten to live....TUNGSTEEEENNNNNNN

	sevorak:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 05:37 GMT		24 points
	Damn you Antimony!

	springmom:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 05:42 GMT		6 points
	Needed just a little more time, like 30 seconds or so. Got 103 out of 118! If it hadn't been for the other periodic table quiz, I wouldn't have been able to do it. Thanks, Sporcle.

	mungar:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 05:58 GMT		4 points
	Damn, missed Antimony..... seems to be a theme lol

	SomeSp0rcler:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 06:01 GMT		5 points
	Dammmmmn, I was held up by Plutonium for nearly a whole minute and thought I was doomed to not complete the game in time. Then, at the end came a welcome surprise: the unun's. In 3 seconds I mindlessly BLASTED them off based on the spelling, and finished with 0:01 left. Excellent!

	finished with 5 seconds left. wouldn't mind having a little more time

	Jaspers:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 07:15 GMT		6 points
	Needed just seven more seconds...

	thriceratop:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 07:41 GMT		6 points
	more time...

	GeminiNL:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 08:01 GMT		3 points
	Too easy... got more than 1:00 to spare. And yes, it does help to know the stuff to get Antimony, Mercury, Tungsten and Tin.

	wyckedredhead:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 08:28 GMT		2 points
	112/118... not bad for a Lit major... :)

	phw:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 08:39 GMT		12 points
	So nice to see a test where everybody gets rubidium but only the true chem geeks know tin.

	Zalx:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 09:14 GMT		2 points
	defo a bit more time on this one. I'm no chemistry genius, but I know my stuff, but this quiz left almost no time for thinking, which seems a little unfair.

	Havok3595:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 09:25 GMT		1 point
	This is the first time I've run out of time, I was shocked by it. I wasn't going as fast as I could, only got 86.

	DeeJay:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 09:52 GMT		-1 points
	I think this one needs an extra 30 seconds. Not everyone can go that fast.

	xbOw00:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 10:19 GMT		4 points
	Finally a quiz I could get 100% on. I was pretty pleased with myself. :D

	Durinthal:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 10:59 GMT		4 points
	For not having done chemistry in six years, I was pleased to get everything. I had to skip tungsten the first time around, tricky thing.

	shel99:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 11:02 GMT		-1 points
	Minute and a half to spare! ... much easier than the Periodic Table one. I have yet to score 100% on that one...

	RavenEleni:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 11:52 GMT		2 points
	awesome quiz, but mor time needed, i know almost all of these to hand, and i still ran out of time, just an extra twenty seconds or so would do for us slow typers!

	MLA:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 12:32 GMT		3 points
	Got all the real ones but ran out of time before figuring out the placeholders (unun...) No problems with stibium or wolfram.

	GPS:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 12:42 GMT		3 points
	Ran out of time or I would have gotten all but Antimony. I completely forgot that one. It was hard not to look at the periodic table hanging on my wall.

	OscilatingGibbon:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 12:53 GMT		5 points
	Like the SOWPODS quiz, if you know the answers to these then the time limit is fine. Otherwise it's just a case of "try every possible answer until you get it right".

	karinaedge:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 13:08 GMT		4 points
	i got 71. but ran out of time. boo.

	CraigR:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 13:15 GMT		2 points
	103 i don't know if i would have gotten the Unun's even with more time

	striker64:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 13:19 GMT		2 points
	106/118, didn't pay attention to the time and got stopped at Roentgenium. Forgot Tin, Antinomy, Tungsten, and LEAD (which I feel stupid about now). Totally forgot that the Unun-'s were 3 letters so I probably wouldn't have gotten them either. Agreed that there should be a wrong answers limit.

	Cuthbert_Twilley:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 13:39 GMT		4 points
	Great quiz. I too didn't look at the timer until I had 15 secs left. I couldn't remember Tin or Copper, but Antimony was easy for me: it was my element for a report in elementary school.

	@raveneleni: Slow typers? There are 111 two letter answers and 7 three letter answers.
