Ok, so we are ready for the off:
Normal rules apply, Points will be decided by the 'Quiz Overseers Supreme', our decision is final but we are open to bribes. No Googling, No cheating, no Arguing, No dogs, no Irish.
Now we've cleared that up,:

A: all elements. Vaguely remember it goes up to 120 or so by now, but last elements are not naturally found on Earth.

Have you been getting your answers out of ‘Terry’s F-wit’s big book of sciencey thingies’.

120 was close enough to 118 I think. Even Dmitri Mendeleev would be impressed.

Of course not. Even with six fingers that still take more time than I want to spent in it. A poster on the wall is more convinient. BTW in my English History book I found this intriguing question: 10. How would you dispose of: (a) A Papal Bull? (b) Your nephews? (c) Your mother? (Be brutal.)
