Jul 27, 2013 at 20:18 comment added babou @Chris Here is another answer I had found on the web funtrivia.com/askft/Question49344.html . Checking the periodic table is another thing I did, as I do often with such questions, with the same conclusion as you (though I am mostly incompetent on such matters). I was just wondering why nobody, including the OP, had made any such comment. Then, now, the OP has 23 votes, while the 3 answers together have only 18. Obviously, the question is intriguing, especially after checking the periodic table. Maybe I do not understand the purpose of votes, but I would expect more participation.
