Dave,
Yes, please! Run a new element quiz. Thank you for doing it!
Question: if there are 112 elements and there are only 96 weeks of questions, how did we cover them all?

I appeal to FEQAB:
a) I gave you the right answer to the element on 28 January, long before you asked the question
b) I know you must have consulted my ancient website at http://www.cypenv.info/worldee/files/hydrogen/hydrogen_myths.aspx to know the true story about the Hindenburg disaster.
Despite rumours, recent research showed that Alf Landon, FDR's opponent for the Presidency in 1936, did not send a hit man up the mooring mast with a box of matches. This conspiracy theory was sparked (pun intended) by one of the bodies on the ground having been burnt to a cinder. In any case, the draught from the propellers would have blown out the match.
Consult the above link for the facts.
