Rowsdower Dec 30, 2003	I was WAY stumped until I realized the category was science...This site is the reason why my old college textbooks aren't dusty! Challenging teaser!
CrystalScryer Feb 09, 2004	Okay, this is for smart people, not people like me!
froghop833 May 14, 2004	I figured it was elements, but I couldn't figure out which ones! And congrats on getting this teaser in the Duke University Talent Identification Program newsletter!!
drussel3 Jun 07, 2005	I did learn about Metalloids, something I was unaware of earlier. According to Wikipedia, the known metalloids are: Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tllurium, Polonium.
jakeodee Jun 11, 2005	you're right that is easy... if you're a science teacher or a college student!!!!!
Tammy93 Jun 19, 2005	Not really, I'm 12 and I thought it was pretty easy after you unscrambled the letters. Well, maybe that's because I specifically study metalloids. Nice teaser though.
CatsAreCute Apr 08, 2008	This was easy, yet still fun!
EienNiKirei Apr 18, 2009	Thank you ^_^
Candi7 Jun 23, 2012	Maybe I only got this because I'm a periodic table NERD and I've studied it since... When? I think 3rd or 4th grade.
