      Not by a long way. I can usually get most of the ones near the top of the periodic table, but there’s no hope with the transition metals.

      ha, nope, that’s one heck of a good memory if someone was to know all of the elements. although i do know how to read a periodic table and find the elements that i’m looking for whenever i need to, or use it to read off their properties (atomic number, weight etc).

      No, and therefore I like to work on things that happened before any of them existed.
