This is sort of a problem. Here's a site with an interesting puzzle:
http://listgames.net/elements

How many of the elements can you name? (NOTE: don't look at the screenshot, it's a spoiler!) I managed to get 54 of them, which was pretty decent in my opinion. I missed a couple easy ones, which I'm sad about, but I got most of the ones I knew!

I got stumped on Molybdernum because of that stupid "b" in there.  I should have had 88 :\

Hey rabbit, I just noticed the band Lacuna Coil in your sig. If you like them you might like Tristania :P

Works fine for me. If you're blocking JavaScript, make sure you allow the domain listgames.net, since it's a JavaScript game.

Hey,

Saw you guys on my referer logs. Thanks for visiting. :)

The website was down for a few minutes today because of a powercut, but also the whole site doesn't yet work with Internet Explorer. Some day I'll fix that bug and make it work...

BTW, you can type "give up" when you get bored and it'll show you what you missed.

I'm glad I didn't say anything bad about the site (not that there's anything bad to say :) )!

As cool as the elements are, I can't believe you have "name the Pratchett Discworld" novels. My absolute favorite author! I'm still upset that I only got 27 of them, though :(

Yeah, I'm a big fan of his too. I thought I'd easily be able to guess them all. But when it actually comes down to it, it's a lot harder than you imagine. And I had no excuse, because I had to go through the whole list just before to check for alternate spellings and so on. ::)

I'm going to wait a couple weeks and try again, hopefully by then I won't be remembering them from doing the test.

It was lucky timing, though, because until recently I hadn't even heard of a couple. Namely, the Wee Free Men, Hat Full of Sky, and Wintersmith. Only recently I picked those up.
