This one is hard if you didn't meorize the periodic table. but it is clever
I dont think anyone could get that without a periodic table in front of them. I knew it had to do with the table of elements, but didn't feel like getting it out. . .
The coorelation to periodic elements was not obvious. Some other hint would at least put one, not me, in the park.
Well the title gave it all away.

I agree with SW. The title gave it away, so I knew the nukbers were atomic numbers. Then, all I had to do was see which element corresponded to which number. After that, it was a simple matter of recognizing the alphabetical pattern. Although it was easy (here I am wondering why the difficulty rating when i voted was 3.44), I certainly found it entertaining. Into the favorites, this one.
*numbers, sorry, not "nukbers"
Clever concept!

Never would have gotton it in a million years, you really gotta like the periodic table to get this one.
Never would have gotton this in a million years. You really have to know your periodic table to get this one.
something that takes that much effort to figure out, i don't think would be classified as easy. and the title obviously wasn't obvious to everybody. i think it's a good teaser but could use a hint to help those who didn't get a hint from the title.
I wasn't looking at the name, just the 2 letter initial. Element 51 caught me, which was Sb, which didn't fit. Good one.
