Below I’ve listed the key elements found in a common item as mass percentages. See if you can guess what this is! If no one gets it within 24 hours, I will post a clue. If you guess on Twitter (@kjhaxton), please DM your guess so others can play.

I am certainly no chemist and there are a lot of elements in this ‘thing’that scare the bejesus out of me. Could it the human body?
Human Body
Definitely human body
Sea water?
@Klaas – not seawater but now I’m going to have to go and look up the composition of sea water.
The rest of you have it – the human body!
