| Darn! Should have got all these, but the time is just right to put pressure on the thought processes. |

| Helpful hint: Don't use this quiz title as a conversation starter tonight at the dance club. |

| @mathesond: Valium isn't an element, it's a drug used to treat insomnia and anxiety, among other things. I admit I typed it too for one odd reason or another. |

| Why do sulfur and cesium have asterisks? |
 | Tahnan: | Jul 23rd, 2010 at 20:43 GMT | | 8 points |
| Right there in the instructions, TubeChat: "* - spelled differently when using British spelling". You did read the instructions, didn't you? |

| @mcory. Glad I ignored you're advice...Used the quiz title as a chat up line. It worked a treat; We've already advanced to Titaniums and Fermiums ! |

| Gah, learning chemistry in French still hurts me on Sporcle quizzes. |

| caesium spelled like that just doesnt look right... |
| zertrudetrout: | Jul 24th, 2010 at 12:36 GMT | | 2 points |
| @Fenwicky - since IUPAC agree with you 'Cesium' should really be a bonus answer, but unfortunately 'Sulfur' should stay |

For those psychotic people who thought this quiz was too easy (or the Brits who like their spellings better) there is this one:

| 'spelled' is of course spelt differently in Britain as well |

| I never understand my brain. 4/18 and Radium was the first one I got. Missed... silver, helium, nickel, copper. Achilles Heel, meet science. You two would get along like a house on fire. |

| @73_99, The terms ferrous & ferric are ONLY used when differentiating between the two oxidation states of iron. ferrous=Fe2+ and ferric=Fe3+ |

| I'm going to point it out because I'm a lousy pedant: "British spelling" should read "non-US spelling".
There's a commonwealth of difference. |

| I had all but one, sat and stared at the quiz as the time ticked down, going over my answers. I swore I had typed in radium first thing so I wasn't even looking for it. Sure enough, that was the one I'd forgotten! |
