As part of an annual competition for local high school students, Chemistry Bowl contestants vie to answer (correctly) a maximum number of chemistry-based questions. Interspersed among the serious questions are a number of lighthearted questions that mix chemical and general knowledge. A sampling of humorous questions is presented in which the symbols of elements are combined to spell familiar words.
