Most of it is people just not having enough time (the percentages decrease the farther down you go in the table). I know all of these but only got 87. Definitely could have finished with an extra minute, but I accept the challenge to finish in only 3!

It's called Speed Symbol by Element for a reason. The key word is speed.

That would be called cheating, and is in fact frowned upon in most countries, including JetPunk.

Then why would they give us an option to not use the timer?

Why would you not use the timer. That would be cheating and is in fact frowned upon in most countries, including JetPunk.

Level 74

Aug 24, 2015

The only time I stop the timer is when I get a phone call or a visitor in the middle of a quiz. Did I read somewhere that stopping the timer keeps that quiz from counting on the stats? Or did I dream that?

Level 65

Aug 24, 2015

Doesn't matter. The new design doesn't let you stop the timer. You can pause the timer, but only three times per quiz.

You can stop it. In fact, that option is right below the pause timer option. Don't know how you could miss it.

I get a really weird result:

You scored 118/125 = 100%.

This beats or equals 100% of test takers

How is it possible to get 118 out of 125 and to have 100%?

Hi, Quizmaster.... Even after reading your comment above regarding being able to stop the timer it still took me 10 minutes to find it. The unlabeled gray box with the tiny arrow does not cry out "click me", and I never even noticed it was there. And once I had finally found it, I still didn't see the words "Stop Timer" so I thought you were pulling our legs. It took another minute to realize that "Take Untimed" was the option I was looking for since I was still doggedly searching for the words "Stop Timer". Otherwise I like the new format.

This quiz needs more time! It shouldn't turn into a quiz based on testing how quickly people can hit keys - it should be testing knowledge - so the time window needs to reflect this better.

Level 56

Dec 16, 2017

To anyone who says this quiz should give more time: it's called "Speed Symbol by Element" for a reason.

Guess I'm just not fast enough. I just got all the stable elements (including the quasi-stable bismuth) plus Technetium and Promethium before the time ran out.

Dec 20, 2018

Is it even possible to get them all in time? No room for typos and you d have to be a speed typer. And yes I know it is a timed quiz ( and therefore it should be hard to get them all in time, but still i would say it could use some more time. Cause at full speed without typos it would still be a close call, which would turn it into a typing contest. I would say ther would have to be atleast 10 secs reserved for typos, or thinking. And scrolling to make it fit into your screen...)

Level 80

Mar 11, 2019

Only missed Tin (Sn), Antimony (Sb), Mercury (Hg - I should've known that one) and Tungsten (W). For most of the others I simply typed in the first letter of the full name of the element and then the next letter; if that did not work I deleted that letter and typed in the next letter in the name. Later on in the quiz I often skipped the second letter if it was a vowel (directly moving on to a consonant.

Level 80

Mar 11, 2019

And I did the above quickly, of course.

Level 80

Dec 28, 2020

Now I only missed Antimony because the symbol greatly differed with the element name. The time was no problem for me.

Level 50

Apr 16, 2019

I really don't agree with the people who need more time. I know that I know the elements better than some people, but I ended with 43 seconds going at a leisurely pace. If you can't finish in time, chances are you need to brush up a tad. I know that if this was sporcle, I'd be voted into the ground, but I honestly feel like this is a git gud situation.
