Quiz that challenges you to name the elements of the periodic table - I didn't do very well at this.

Well, Dave, I got 56 - and I have a CHEMISTRY DEGREE!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I only got 37 - but then I didn't do chemistry. And Tom Lehrer didn't help because I couldn't remember the words. I did miss some really obvious ones too, like barium, which was a bit disappointing - but there's only so much you can remember from year 10 science (the last time I did any real chemistry!)
