The website "Trivia Genius" thinks I'm an idiot [View all]

Well, they might be right, but not because of their trivia question.

They were fishing for people to give them their email addresses, of course, but they asked "what is the softest metal in the world?" and gave the following four choices to pick from: Gold, Tin, Cesium, Copper.

Umm, ever heard of Mercury, guys? Its chemical symbol we use even today is "Hg" for the ancient Greek "hydragyros," or "water silver." As in "liquid at room temperature."

I'd say that whoever is behind "Trivia Genius" needs to work on their genius status. Maybe get some lessons from Trump?
