Yep 247 well done
UP the maths is:
Doubles= 8*7/2*1 =28
Trebles= 8x7x6/3x2x1 56
Four timers = 8x7x6x5/4x3x2x1 70
Five= 8x7x6x5x4/5x4x3x2x1 56
Six etc 28
Seven etc 8
All eight= 8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1/8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1=1
Total 247.
Legend has it that the ancient Phillistine champion that fought David took his name from the bet such was his fondness for trying to predict all 8 results of the chariot race meetings that were popular at the time.

Erm yes not really sure my last comment is historically accurate
I dont know the answer but I was reading about the elements recently and one of them stood out because it was only synthesised after the next one above it in the periodic table. ie in this case the element with atomic number 110 would have been discovered before 109, the latter being more inherently unstable. The other synthetic ones were 'discovered' in order of their ascending weight.
Could this apply to Meitnerium?

The order which they were synthethised seems a bit random, but the answer isn't to do with that.

If I said the element was eponymous, that might give you a clue...

Weyland gets it. Well kind of! Lise Meitner was an Austrian physicist who was should have been awarded a Nobel Prize for Chemistry but wasn't (probably because she was a Doris) - so they named an element in her honour many years later.Weyland wrote:I just looked Meitner up, and I'm disgusted with myself that the correct answer didn't even cross my mind. Clearly, I am a dinosaur.
Curium was named after both Pierre and Marie Curie.
