Aside from the fact that this could be attempted humor … published by two Iranian jokers, Wiki does have an entry on element 110 and it kinda fits their suggestion….
Wiki: Darmstadtium was first created on November 9, 1994, at the Institute for Heavy Ion Research (Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung) in Darmstadt, Germany, by Armbruster and Münzenberg … The team bombarded a lead-208 target with accelerated nuclei of nickel-62 … The idea is nickel + lead fusion -> fission with the ash being different isotopes of the same elements, but the downfall of the attempted humor is that the fission would result in a plethora of elements from the double hump distribution – NOT the same two that fused … assuming they could fuse, which they can’t… It’s fairly clever … From: Jed Rothwell M.

Alavi · Corresponding author · Department of Nuclear Physics, University of Mazandaran, Babolsar 47415-416, Iran Received: 10 July 2014 Revised: 29 October 2014 Accepted: 29 October 2014 Published: 18 December 2014 By using semiclassical method and considering Woods–Saxon and Coulomb potentials, the level density parameter a was calculated for three superheavy nuclei 270110, 278112 and 290116. Obtained results showed that the value of level density parameter of these nuclei is near to the simple relation a≈A/10. In framework of the dinuclear system model, the effects of level density parameter on the probability of the formation of a compound nucleus, the ratio of neutron emission width and fission width, and evaporation residue cross-section of three cold fusion reactions 62Ni+208Pb, 70Zn+208Pb and 82Se+208Pb, leading to superheavy elements were investigated. The findings indicate that the level density parameter play a significant role in calculations of heavy-ion fusion–fission reactions. The obtained results in the case of a = A/12 have larger values in comparison with calculated level density parameter with Woods–Saxon potential (aWS) and a = A/10. The theoretical results of the evaporation residue cross-section are very sensitive to the choice of level density parameter. The calculated values with aWS are in good agreement with experimental values.
