Darmstatium was an amazing answer. The woman who answered Aluminium was really dumb. Any correct answer would have got her through... gold, Iron, and oxygen for instance. Instead, she took a chance when she didn't need to, and it cost her.
this is not the right episode. the people in the episode do not match the people in the thumbnail, nor does the description of what happened "last episode" match what is in S22E1 (which does include the people in this thumbnail)
What the actual hell with those elements? Darnstadtium, Europium, Nihonium, Moscovium, Aluminium (Not too hard), Seaborgium? There is no freaking way. Just no freaking way. I call shenanigans. Curiously if she had said the American "Aluminum" it would have worked.. I don't know how they would have graded it then.
Richard clearly said at the beginning of the question that they use the official IUPAC periodic table. Those are all elements on the table. Some of them were only discovered in the last 10-20 years which is probably why you haven't heard of them. Elements are a common question on this show so people usually know the obscure answers. And the American "aluminum" would be incorrect. There's no element with that name on the official IUPAC periodic table :)
I love PointlessTV, one of my favorite TV program!

And she had almost whole round to count it out.
Aluminum, same element, correct answer
Aluminium was an element, but it hadn't an even number of letters.
16:20 Nomen est Omen!

33:48 wtf more people know about Cuba than Uruguay lol. British education system is so weird
Not sure how Boudica changed the world when she was easily defeated and humiliated by the Romans. The Brits must live in a fantasy world.
Boudicca 65... Marie Curie 46 and Frida Kahlo 22? You british are so weird.
