Good quiz, could have taken Sulphur instead of Sulfur.

Sulphur is the mineral, but Sulfur is the element. I,ll accept it anyway.

Everybodé, first off, even using English on a Mac, you can hold down on a letter: EXAMPLE: n=ñ.

Second off, if you didn't get sodium and chlorine and are wondering how anybody knows it, think of salt.

Is it really necessary to have 9 minutes for answering? That's enough time to try every element in the table.

Apart from that, good quiz!

P.S. Look at your comment in http://www.jetpunk.com/quizzes/geography-by-letter-a

This doesn't really affect the outcome of the quiz, so maybe I'm bordering on pedantic here. However ...

"Tons per Square Mile" doesn't make sense as a unit. Do you mean tons per cubic mile? By my calculations, Oxygen should be 403,868,946,000, which is a lot more than what you have.

Really, the numbers are only relevant for their relative magnitude, but the units should still make sense.

Units don't make any sense. Probably tons/cubic mile. Doesn't change the answers though.
