ShrekThere are always rounds on Pointless concerning these, and the contestants are, on the whole, useless at them.
Are the (non-scientific) public really so unaware of them? I mean, it's something we all learnt at school and I can't believe people can't hazard a guess at what carbon or hydrogen might be. But having always been a scientist it's just something I take for granted.
Anyway, here's the kind of thing they had to guess at this week. Can you non-geeks get them?
Film titles:
Sulphur hydrogen rhenium potassium
Polonium cobolt hydrogen oxygen nitrogen tantalum sulphur
Carbon hydrogen, iodine, carbon, silver, oxygen
Titanium tantalum nickel carbon

How very dare you. I'm a metallurgist.Can we just point out that Dave is a chemical engineer? Does this have any bearing here?
You certainly areI'm made of copper and tellurium
Have you ever tested a massive bell?How very dare you. I'm a metallurgist.
