Found this chemistry quiz. There is no answer key to this quiz. There is a hint site below. This may be uncomfortably cerebral, but what the heck. :)

Your task in the quiz is to match the chemical element to the product in which it is found. Here are the nine elements to consider:1. Aluminum (Al)
2. Copper (Cu)
3. Magnesium (Mg)
4. Potassium (K)
5. Rhenium (Re)
6. Scandium (Sc)
7. Selenium (Se)
8. Titanium (Ti)
9. Zinc (Zn)
And here are the objects in which these elements can be found: A. Bananas
B. Electrical wires
C. Green plants
D. Hip implants
E. Jet turbine blades
F. Lightweight bicycle parts
G. Nickels
H. Pennies
I. Photocopiers
You must match each numbered element to just one of the lettered objects, and you must not leave any elements or objects unmatched (meaning that every numbered element must be matched with a different letter). If you’re stumped, you can find hints and more at Mr. Gray’s Web site, periodictable.com (http://www.periodictable.com/).
