Hi James - yes, that is possible but as part of the element question, I 
will be looking for a specific answer based on a specific year that will 
be included in the question clues.

Dave

If everyone's been crossing them off on their Big Bang Periodic table 
shower curtains every week you may get someone answering before you've 
posed the question!

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - The Answer

Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:

The Question:
This element has no biological role for humans. History shows that the 
mineral containing this element was encountered in silver mines in the 
Bohemia (Czech Republic) in the Middle Ages and was give a name that is 
the combination of the words "ill luck" and deceiver" because it was found 


to have no use. This element plays a significant role in industry today in 


several different industry segments and is more abundant that tin in the 
Earth's crust. What element is being described?

The Answer:

The element is Uranium (U)! Uranium was known for a very long time as 
pitchblende (pech = ill luck or pitch,  blende = deceiver). No one 
understood that Uranium was radioactive until Henri Becquerel in Paris 
accidentally fogged some unexposed photographic plates in 1896. Uranium 
today is found in weapons systems and nuclear reactors.  One kg of U-235 
can release the equivalent energy of 1500 tons of coal.


The winner of the weekly element quiz is Gebhard Neifer, Delphi and he 
will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. The boys 
caught a cargo flight to Frankfort and should be driving to your facility 
by early Saturday morning.


We have reached a milestone in the Friday Element Quiz. We have covered 
every element from #1 thru #112 except for one. FEQAB wants to be fair to 
all of our TechNet community time zones (or at least as fair as 
possible)so on Friday, February 1st at 7:30 AM Central Standard Time US, 
per the Rockwell Collins Firewall clock, I will be sending the Friday 
Element Quiz Question for this last element. Good luck to everyone as the 
clue will not be easy.


So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
