We had to memorize that entire fucking thing in highschool...
Luckily I had a teacher that thought it was bullshit we had to memorize the whole table and "forgot" to cover the wall-sized poster of the periodic table during the exam
Yeah I'm vaguely remembering something similar. I have these faint whispers of a memory of my teacher forgetting (or probably, "forgetting") to cover something on the wall during a memorization test.
That's stupid, who the fuck needs to know about antimony
Anybody named Mony.
No! Absolutely not! Are you trying to kill us all?!
I'm trying, but you're not making it easy.
Oh, dreadfully sorry. Shall I...just stick my neck out here? Or is this going to be a trampling? Let me know.
Most chem PhDs don't even know the whole thing lol. We had to memorize just the symbols in high school, but positions weren't required. In my grad-level inorg course, the first test was a blank table that we had to fill in, but even then the f-block and transactinides were not required.
It worked so well I managed to retain that knowledge for almost a full week after we were tested on it lol it's all gone now
