	Some odd choices: Gateau, Prawns, Cheesy Corn, Crabsticks? You could have used Spinach, Sushi, Almond, Calamari, Parsnip, Scallion, French Onion Soup, and so many others. Other than the few oddities, good quiz.

	Tungsten is spelled wrong. Also, there is nowhere near enough time on this quiz.

	Shouldn't it be LASAGNA, not LASAGNE? Yes, lasagne is the plural form, but the dish - at least in the US - is called lasagna. Is it called lasagne in the UK?

	I'm intrigued by "cheesy corn".

	come come - more time for us non-chemists to try & work these out please. i was barely into the 2nd column before it began flashing red.

	Cheesy Corn?

	triplejk33:	Jun 12th, 2011 at 00:28 GMT		-3 points
	ignore the comments of people questioning your cheesy corn. amazing quiz, and i hope to see more interesting ones like this! great job!!!

	Way too little time. Needs almost double the time you've given it.

	eyhung:	Jun 12th, 2011 at 06:15 GMT		2 points
	I think the amount of time is just right.

	Bobman1:	Jun 12th, 2011 at 07:38 GMT		8 points
	I bombed but thought it really clever and fun. Can anyone explain cheesy corn to those of us who are dumbfounded? I got to chees... then y and figured I had something wrong. Similar question about crab sticks, thought I assume it's just fish sticks with crab meat. I'd probably have reversed them to be crab cake and fish sticks--much more common in my experience and according to the 100+ cookbooks in my kitchen, but could well be regional issues. Fun idea but I would have appreciated more time as well.

	I also think it needs more time.

	macedoniajoe:	Jun 12th, 2011 at 11:19 GMT		2 points
	i vote for more time. 'cause it's a fun quiz and i want to finish!

	mrsmith:	Jun 12th, 2011 at 12:04 GMT		3 points
	Thanks for all the comments, everybody. Sorry it's a bit tight on the time - hard to know what's ideal. (I'm not a chemist myself, or even a scientist, but just have a good memory for the periodic table from school days, I guess.) Sorry about some of the obscure foods - chose them because they amused me mainly, especially 'cheesy corn', which I've never eaten and not sure I want to... Crabsticks are a bit of a British thing from the 80s. My sister was mad for them. I heard that they don't actually contain any crab, so have to be called 'crab-flavoured sticks' by law these days.

	Switch it to crab cakes and fish sticks and that will solve two of the problem spots anyway.

	somehow, i suspect this quiz was not made by an American...not that there's anything wrong with that

	Crabsticks? I am intrigued by your suggestion and would like to read more about in your pamphlet...

	Akatsiya:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 17:47 GMT		3 points
	Though I don't necessarily agree with it, I'll accept "Aluminium" as the correct spelling because the IUPAC says it is. However, they also say that "Sulfur" is the correct spelling.

	I scored a zero. An example in the directions would be useful, though I should've suspected I was overthinking it. I was searching for Sodium Chloride Hydrogen Oxygen so that I could answer "salt water."

	Needs way more time. Eh.

	I got it, but what the heck is cheesy corn?! Sounds like it might be good. Also sounds Canandian. :) Had 43 seconds left. Time is about right.

	excellent game! what's the problem with cheesy corn??? it's delicious!

	For those who have been asking, here are crabsticks and fishcakes... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_stick http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/fish-recipes/fish-cakes

	Cheesy corn is popcorn coated with cheese-flavored powder, like the stuff in boxed macaroni and cheese. It's okay, not my favorite, but I wouldn't eat it every day. I got bacon and beer right away from one of my other favorite sites, ThinkGeek. Great quiz, that was lots of fun!

	willwoodlen:	Jun 20th, 2011 at 19:12 GMT		3 points
	Add my vote for more time. I had fun trying to figure these out, but it ends too soon.

	Aluminium/Aluminum - Sulphur/Sulfur. Like all great compromises and treaties, everyone is waiting for the other side. I don't see the US in any hurry to change over to Aluminium, but then I haven't seen many people in the UK pushing the move to adopt sulfur as the correct spelling.

	good quiz idea + terrible time limit + ignoring pleas to lengthen quiz = rating of 2 globes

	mrsmith:	Jul 23rd, 2011 at 13:33 GMT		4 points
	I am afraid I cannot change the time limit now that the game has been published - only the Sporcle administrators can do that now, so you would have to email them and put in a request.
