Too difficult for me - I only know 7 and 11.  And I might have got 10 if I hadn't read the answer by accident when I opened the page.  

But I'd never have got 6 - have another look at the periodic table or here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_earth_element) . :)

My daughter has a spyrograph so, technically I am more likely to find one in her bedroom than in a Wankel rotary engine.  :y
