Carbon, cadmium, calcium, copper, cesium, cerium, okay, I'm bored now.
The first step in the process of learning something is admitting that you don't know it already.
I'm givin' the spam shields max power at full warp, but they just dinna have the power! We're gonna have to evacuate to new forum software!

@crackers32 you forgot to include cadmium in your quiz, so it's 11, not 10.

Just twelve huh?
I get a few more than that.
Celtium Ct was a name proposed for what is now hafnium.
Catium, also Ct was eventually called francium.
And who could forget columbium Cb, which was eventually called niobium -- although it took a while for the name to stick in some parts of the world.
(IUPAC eventually made a call on that one in 1949.)
Then there is Ceresium Ce from the days when new elements were named after newly named planetary bodies and people thought Ceres might be a cool bit
of rock. Evidently someone thought Pallas was even cooler.
Cassiopeium Cp was never all that popular. But when did you last hear of anyone doing anything much with lutetium? I guess the inhabitants of Paris
were happy.
I won't count cyclonium Cy since californium has already been included.
So -- can I score 17 out of 10?
C, Ca, Cb, Cd, Ce and Ce, Cf, Cl, Cm, Cn, Co, Cp, Cr, Cs, Ct and Ct, Cu and Cy.

12/12. Copernicium took a while to remember.
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

10/12 forgot curium and copernicium
Although to be fair copernicium was not
named when I was in school.

Cool. Learned something new.
Fe13+ is kind of awesome. Not surprised that no one anticipated it. Especially in 1869.
