Hi folks! Here is the Friday Element Quiz. There won't be a quiz next week 
due to the IPC Midwest Conference in Chicago.

The Question: 

This element occurs as a native metal in the Earth's crust. The annual 
production of this element is small - the total quantity of this element 
produced in 2000 would fit into a cube just 5 meters on a side. The 
largest single chunk of this element was 90 kg found in Australia in 1872. 
This element is the most ductile metal as 1 kg of it can be rolled into a 
sheet only 10 nm thick with an area of 5000 square meters (i.e. the size 
of a football field).


Bonus points: The origin of the word "crass" is related to this element. 
Name the person associated with the element/word origin.


The winner of this week's quiz will have Clumpy assist them for a week. 

So far Clumpy has:

Week 1 Lamar Young, SCS Coatings 
- accomplished nothing (drank lots of coffee)

Week 2 Bev Christian, RIM 
- conducted REACH material testing

Week 3 Drew Meyer, Benchmark Electronics Inc. 
- Solderability testing and mowing the lawn

Week 4 Ian Fox, Goodrich 
- had an epic journey of travel

Week 4 Gary Ferrari, Garrick Global

Week 5 Fredrick Miller, Astrolab
