| Good quiz, and good time limit! |

| Where's Ytterbium? |

| What about the unun***iums? |

| @Heresy Those are not names of officially IUPAC recognized elements. Those are only placeholders until a second group confirms the discovery of an element, the first group suggests a name, and then IUPAC votes on the element name. There are also an infinite number of those. If you want to write out the name for element number 1234567 that would be unbitriquadpenthexseptium. That element will never be discovered, but it has a temporary name. |

| I was doing well until I got to 8 and typed Francium. That slowed me down a bit, then I saw Fr was in the 7's! I think we may need a recount (unless you know some other spelling?). |

| @WyvernSabres Oh, crap. I have fixed that. Sorry, I counted by hand rather than by computer. And well, clearly I suck. I just double checked them all, and I think they are right now. |

| I did better than I expected! Got all but 12 -- pretty sure I've never heard of any of those elements. |

| I entered krypton and it didn't register for a 7 letter element, but it showed up in the list of symbols. |

| It appears as though you currently accept kyrpton, not to be confused with kyrptonite, Spuerman's only weakness. |

| I liked this quiz. I didn't pick up on any of the typos, but am annoyed that I forgot about rutherfordium and yet remembered some more obscure ones. |

| I'm curious as to how Rafatmit managed to get all 12 on this quiz... |

| Both Roentgenium (Rg) and Copernicium (Cn) have 11. |

| I kept trying Latin root names. In my defense, the comment about the Latin root names not being accepted (event though they are technically recognized by IUPAC) wasn't added until after I played. |

| I made no New Years Resolutions this year. Now I will make one. Learn how to spell Protactinium. |

| Fun quiz. Surprised I did so well. |

| If we Sporclers had a say, there would be at least one more 13-letter element: Kyrgyzstanium. |

| I don't know where I pulled protactinium from. If only rutherfordium was in the same place, I could have pulled that one out too. |

| A weird bug in the iPhone version: if you type in any one character and then delete it, you get answers 10 and 11. |

| Tom Lehrer needs to update his song. Rutherfordium isn't in it. *harumph* |

| When you list them this way, there's almost a perfect distribution curve with number of elements and number of letters. |

| Oh Rutherfordium. I know EXACTLY where you live. ;)
(Right after the Actinide series) |

| It's sad realising it's Ritherfordium in the last, and the realising you've only got 4 seconds to spell it. |

| who else tried ununhexium or ununquadium etc. |

| Cs is listed in both the 6 letter list and the 7 letter list. |
| sproutcm: | Aug 22nd, 2011 at 14:03 GMT | 3 points |
| @ArtVark Because in the US is it 'cesium' and in the UK it is 'caesium.' Sulfur/Sulphur and Aluminum/Aluminium both have this same property. |

| Quite fun! I learned a lot about myself through this quiz. (That I can name 12 and 13 character elements, but not an 11 character element.) |
