Bev,
Dave did not actually start keeping track of Week 1, Week 2..... until 
after he had asked questions for several months.   His first question was 
on May 15, 2009.  He did not start his week count until August 13, 2010.

Dave,
Yes, please!  Run a new element quiz.  Thank you for doing it!

Question: if there are 112 elements and there are only 96 weeks of
questions, how did we cover them all?

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

I appeal to FEQAB:

a) I gave you the right answer to the element on 28 January, long before 
you asked the question
b) I know you must have consulted my ancient website at 
http://www.cypenv.info/worldee/files/hydrogen/hydrogen_myths.aspx to 
know the true story about the Hindenburg disaster.

Despite rumours, recent research showed that Alf Landon, FDR's opponent 
for the Presidency in 1936, did not send a hit man up the mooring mast 
with a box of matches. This conspiracy theory was sparked (pun intended) 
by one of the bodies on the ground having been burnt to a cinder. In any 
case, the draught from the propellers would have blown out the match. 
Consult the above link for the facts.
