The answer to the yellow clue was really hard. I eventually figured out the others, but not that one.

I was super lucky and guessed that element at the second step - no idea why it was the first of the 13 possibilities to come to mind. Really fun quiz. Would love to see more periodic table quizzes.

Very hard one. Requires a very good knowledge of the periodic table and then some trivia on top of it.

Hi, nice quiz! The description on the featured page talks about countries rather than elements.

Not to be irritating, but I think it should read 'with 6 letters or fewer in its name'

I scored 13, which is better than I expected considering I had no idea what a transition metal is, nor had I ever heard of

Actinides or Lanthanides. I made some lucky guesses.

Blue clue number 2: ".. with an atomic above 49" ... is missing "number" (or mass)?
