Always remembered gold as Au by the phrase, "A, U! Don't touch my gold!"

That might work if it rhymed. Otherwise, you could put anything instead: A,U! Don't touch my... (insert precious element, stone etc.) So, not really helpful.

What's wrong with it though? MacKaps associates gold and its symbol with the phrase. If it works for them, it doesn't matter how helpful it seems to you or anyone else

The '80s TV show "Facts of Life" used the phrase "A you! (Au) Gimme back my gold watch!" Stuck with me, and I taught it to my students. And here I am, still quoting it. ;)

That was really fun.

I was annoyed that I didn't realize missing one would = game over.

I would've guessed more strategically, had I known the rules.

What I mean is, I think an improvement would be to make that clear at the start.

I don't think I've come across that rule before. I enjoy it.

I’m not sure what you mean. Missing one just means you miss one point. It doesn’t mean game over.

Still didn't understand why natrium is translated in english to sodium, and kalium translated in english to potassium. Anyway nice quiz, feeling nostalgic studying chemical in school

Because when the British chemist Sir Humphrey Davy isolated the elements sodium and potassium, he named them after his sources: soda ash and potash.

Shortly thereafter, the German chemist Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert proposed the names natronium (from natron, a naturally-occurring source of soda ash) and kalium (from kali, from alkali, from the Arabic for plant ashes, which is what potash was made from.)

Then the Swedish chemist Baron Jöns Jacob Berzelius created a system of chemical notation, and decided to use (the slightly altered) "natrium" and "kalium" as the names for those two elements. His system became standard, and those names stuck in many languages. But since English already had words for those elements, thanks to Davy, they're the ones we stuck with (much like we already had words for iron, lead, gold, etc.)

For the curious about why some of the symbols don't "seem" to match the names:

Sodium - Na - Natrium

Potassium - K - Kalium

Lead - Pb Plumbum

Tungsten - W - Wolfram

Gold - Au - Aurum

Silver - Ag - Argentum

Tin - Sn - Stannum

Iron - Fe - Ferrum

Copper - Cu - Cuprum
