3. What is the “B” element with the highest atomic number?This is gonna sound nitpicky, but I wanna make sure. If you mean "highest" as in largest, my guess is Berkelium. If you mean "highest" as in relative position on the Periodic Table, my guess is Boron.
I was trying to avoid this situation by saying "highest number". If I had meant location on the table I would hope I would have found some other way to say it.
Possibly.
I obviously read it the same as mrkelley, which is why my answer was boron. I'll await my points.
Actually, in my mind I got the answer right just by knowing an element that starts with a B. The points are irrelevant. Ha!
I once had a phone game question putting elements in order according to their atomic number. What are the odds of putting four things in the correct order by total dumbass blind guessing? Because that's the odds I beat when I got it right. Ha!
I'm darned good and ready.

I must be the only one who never got an elements in order question on the phone game..... cake for someone who remembers numbers like me!
Boron is #5.... right above #13 aluminum!

While I was unpacking some of the last boxes in the garage last week (if I haven't needed that stuff in the last 4 years then I don't need it at all, right? Try telling that to a packrat. Ha!) I found my BAM folder with all my questions and little reminder lists and crap that I used to use. I'll have to see if I still have the sheet with the element question on it.

I don't think my phone game notebook's with the rest of my stack on this desk. That means its
somewhere else.... and may be found by archaeologists centuries from now when they study the life and culture of the pack rat.....
