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. ;)
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
"A you (Au)! Got any gold?"
"Aww gee (Ag), only silver."
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.
