Symbol game
« on: September 15, 2012, 03:36:45 PM »
Hi everyone!

I want you to help me in a little game/competition.
My professor offered 4 extra exampoints to the student, who makes the best word by chemical symbols.

The points are calculated by summarizing the atomic numbers of the elements, which are in the word (For example the word 'albino': AlBiNo: 13 + 83 + 102 = 198 points).

The best word i have made is 'HYPErSUSCePtIBiLiTiEs'. It gains 644 points, but I'm sure it is possible to create better words.

I hope you can help me :) Waiting for the ideas.

(Pm: sorry for my bad English, and sorry if I made the topic in wrong forum section)

You need some coding and a list of English words. Can't help you in coding (but I believe there is a perl script on line that does what you want). List you can find in the spelling dictionary of the OpenOffice.
ChemBuddy chemical calculators - stoichiometry, pH, concentration, buffer preparation, titrations.info
