Hmm, isn't that about what I said in my e-mail? (See CAPS):
"Well I will have to agree with James, but you sure haven't given us much to
go on, Dave.
IF the theory that the moon was once part of the earth, then all but
untrapped gases would still be there, so that doesn't help. The bit about
catching on fire and not being able to put it out with water or CO2 could
apply to ANY ALKALI OR ALKALINE EARTH OR ALUMINUM OR PHOSPORUS. But I think
this may also apply to many other metals with very thermodynamically stable
oxides.
My old 1962 hard bound Encylopedia Britannia (trying to abide by the no
Google rule) talks about "strong bands with sharp edges on the red side
caused by titanium oxide" for M class stars. But the volume with titanium
in it only talks about titanium burning in dry chlorine gas. Hmm. You
didn't say burn in what.
Well, I still agree with James."

Hi Pat - Hum, I think I sense a Doug Paul's conspiracy in the works! But
you are correct as I needed to get one clue that was unique to Titanium. I
promise to do better in the future so that we don't have any overlap. The
FEQAB review of your comment is that you get "honorable mention" for last
week's quiz.
The TechNet community is making the FEQ way harder than I ever imagined
(but we do get to have fun)!

Hmmm, I think Cesium, Lithium, Magnesium all fall under the question
guideline, all are found in red dwarf spectrum and in moon rock samples.

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Answer
Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:
The Question:
This element is found on the moon. If this element catches fire, water or
CO2 extinguishers will not put it out. This element's oxide is found in
type M stars. What element is being described?
The Answer:
The element is Titanium (Ti)! Titanium oxide bands are a prominent in the
spectra of M-type stars. These stars have a surface temperature of 3200C
and are red in color. Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the
earth's crust.
The winner of the weekly element quiz is James Head, Crowcon Detection
Instruments Limited, and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios
for the week. The boys were quite excited to be heading over to his
facility as they had a great time on their last visit. And to answer Bev
Christian's question, yes, the FEQ clues are going to be more difficult
this time around.
So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
Past Quiz winners/tasks:
Week 1 Dick Krug, Spartan Complex Systems
- Clumpy and Kloumpios arrived and were happy to get some warm weather.
Saturday they helped rake leaves (yes it's fall in Tampa) then went to the
Florida State Fair. They seemed most interested in some of the new
tractors, muttering something about the closed cab would be a more
comfortable ride, but they also took advantage of the opportunity for Fair
food. I couldn't believe how much deep fried food they ate - Snickers,
butter, burgers, ..., you name it. Yesterday they didn't feel good so
just sat around in the sun most of the day. This week I'm going to pick
their brains on how to improve our ECN implementation process. If they
can't contribute much I'll send them back to the fair as sort of a winter
vacation.
Week 2 Laura Turbini, IRC
- assisted with ????
Week 3 James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited
- assisted with ????
Everyone have a safe week!
Dave Hillman
