Periodic Times Table

Guess a dated number from 1 to 14,043; distance comes back as atomic-number math.

What is Periodic Times Table?

Find a shared mystery number between 1 and 14,043. After a guess, your distance is shown as a math expression made of periodic-table elements, each standing for its atomic number. A distance within 118 can be one element. Other distances use a product of two atomic numbers, and sometimes a third element added or subtracted with multiplication first. Login is optional and only if you want stats saved.

How to play Periodic Times Table

  1. Guess a number between 1 and 14,043.
  2. Read the distance as periodic-table elements, each worth its atomic number.
  3. A distance within 118 can be one element. Other distances use a product of two atomic numbers, and sometimes a third element added or subtracted, with multiplication first. Three elements does not mean you are farther away than a two-element guess.
