10. Now take the nine previous answers: they form a series. What number comes in tenth place? - Those who get this right are exceptionally bright! Or they are just in their elements.

Answer: 8

With 2 clues (the word "atomic" appearing in the title for no reason and the word play in the expression "in their elements"), it is quite easy ;) to realize that the answers are the atomic numbers of elements of the periodic table. If you gather the corresponding symbols, you get Sa (samarium, #62 - the other symbol in use, Sm, would not fit in here), N (nitrogen, #7), F (fluorine, #9), Ra (radium, #88), N (nitrogen, #7), C (carbon, #6), I (iodine, #53), S (sulfur, #16) and C (carbon, #6). Of course, the next symbol is O (oxygen, #8). Un �norme bravo! si vous avez vu San Francisco (sans tricher)! Si vous �tes une fille je veux votre num�ro ;)))
