I guess I didn't check the fine print. If I get Doug's desk,
do you expect me to try to do his work too?
I hereby abdicate, so that Guy can ascend to this honor.

Subject: [TN] NTC - Friday Element Quiz - The Answers
Hi folks! Ok, here is the Friday element quiz answers:
The Question:
I am a ductile BCC metal and one of the few BCC metals that has no ductile-to-brittle transition. My elemental name is part of Greek mythology.
The Answer: Ta - tantalum
Bonus Points:
Name this metal's greatest attribute and its melting temperature rank with respect to all of the metals.
The bonus points answers: Greatest attribute is the tenaciousness of its oxide and Ta has the 4th highest melting point
The winner is Joe Kane!
And the really odd thing is that Guy Ramsey is awarded the "almost" winner
prize. Tantalum was named after Tantalus, the son of Zeus, because the
difficult efforts to get pure Ta separated from Niobium (Nb) reminded them
of the punishment inflicted on Tantalus by the Greek gods for abusing his
guest privileges at the Greek Gods parties. The daughter of Tantalus was
Niobe - thus the source of the name for the element Niobium (which is what
Guy submitted).
Joe - you get Doug's desk but I haven't a clue how you will be able to
claim it.
Everone have a fun and safe weekend
Dave
