Not bad, lots of interesting variations these days. My time we had a slightly different reactivity series slightly shorter than the current 1 and how we memorise it was
'Please sent cats, monkeys and zebras in large hired cages, make sure padlocked'
K, Na, Ca, Mg, Al, Zn, Fe, Pb, H, Cu, Hg, Ag, Pt
Considering its close a decade liao and i still remember this lame sentence...
