Both are very good at documentation, I'll have Clumpy head for your
facility and Kloumpios head for Leland's facility

> The Question:
> This element is never found in nature as a free element. It was discovered
> in the 1880s but was not isolated as a pure element until the 1950s. It is
> a key constituent of an alloy developed in the 1970s by the Naval Ordnance

> State University played a significant role in creating a methodology for
> manufacturing the alloy. Because of this element, the alloy has the highest
> magnetostriction of any alloy, up to 0.002 m/m at saturation; it expands
> and contracts in a magnetic field. The initial application of this alloy
> was in naval sonar systems. Which element is being described?
>
> The Answer:
> The element is Dysprosium (Dy)! Dysprosium was identified in 1886 but was
