Tonight at 11
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Rules of the quiz:
- One answer per person (per round)
- Always give the answer you think the fewest amount of people would know
- If two people give the same answer in a short space of time, the first person's answer will be accepted (but the second can answer again)
- When applicable, a player may pick the same subject as another contestant and provide a different answer if they believe the other to be incorrect
- If you play the first round, please check back in case you make it through to Round #2
- Resist cheating (i.e. searching online for answers)

And of course, respect your fellow contestants and have fun!

Round #1 will be posted shortly and will remain open until Monday (or, when applicable, until each answer is taken) to give everyone a chance of replying.

The records of previous winners and pointless answers can be found here.

ROUND #1

Your first category is...

SCIENCE

I gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

CHEMICAL ELEMENTS WITH A VOWEL AS THE SECOND LETTER OF THEIR NAME

...as they could. I'm looking for the full name of any chemical element in the periodic table as of January 2014 which has the second letter as a vowel – A, E, I, O, U. I won't accept Y. Plenty of pointless ones to find. Good luck!

I'll stick with the one that got me a low score last time, Tantalum.

Neodymium

Captain_Keeta | 20-09-2014 18:39

Same strategy as Sierra

europium

TheAnnoyance | 20-09-2014 20:48

[Br]omine [Ba]rium.

Joeyy | 20-09-2014 20:49

Hmm? BrBa.

PinkFloyd | 20-09-2014 20:52

Breaking Bad.

I haven't even seen the show and I know what that is.

Joeyy | 20-09-2014 20:54

Oh. I watched it.

Oops.

In my defence, it's James, so I was trying to think of something dirty. I thought he was misspelling "bra".

TheAnnoyance | 20-09-2014 21:09

Pft, gimme some credit, lol.

Couldn't think of a dirty answer for that one, though.

Cheater138 | 20-09-2014 21:19

I'm with B & Sierra on this.

Tungsten

Joeyy | 20-09-2014 21:31

Terrible.

Mendelevium

Captain_Keeta | 20-09-2014 22:35

Oh James.

titanium

Joeyy | 21-09-2014 00:10

James didn't do anything (wrong).

Some brilliant answers so far...and yet only one is pointless.

juicy1 | 21-09-2014 01:26

Xenon

zjenn4 | 21-09-2014 01:50

Dang it! I think I spelled mine wrong. That first 'm' should have been an 'n,' I think.

That sucks. This is what happens when you post from your phone and try to be fancy, people. Epic fail.

zjenn4 | 21-09-2014 01:53

Or maybe it is right and it just looks weird with 2 m's? I keep repeating the world in my head trying to decide if both the m's are correct or wrong.

Joeyy | 21-09-2014 01:55

It's acceptable.

zjenn4 | 21-09-2014 02:00

Some brilliant answers so far...and yet only one is pointless.

Wow, really? There have definitely been some great answers, I would have thought at least 2 would have been pointless. Hmm.

Joeyy | 21-09-2014 02:20

I know, I thought that myself before looking again at the list.

Europium Assuming most of British are not "Eurocentric" in thinking about these names....

Cheater138 | 21-09-2014 17:40

Someone has already said that one, Practice.
