    Doesn't appear as if Dinesh is coming back...

    Adam asks a fair question. Dinesh, is your submission beatable? In the spirit of competition, I lean toward allowing He to be counted as both hydrogen and helium.

  • Australia Moses Brasher

    If not, how is it beatable? There are only so many one-letter symbols.

    Dinesh wrote me this in response:

    Mr. Adam just doing manipulation with chemical element symbols

    Actually, look again at 11 of the first 12. For example, He contains both H (hydrogen) and He (helium).
