Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:
The Question:
This element is essential for life. The ratio of two of this element's
isotopes has been used to trace the origins of skeletons. This element in
its liquid state is a pale blue color and has magnetic properties. What is
the element is being described?
The Answer:
The element is Oxygen (O)! Oxygen was used to assist premature babies
breath until it was discovered that it sometimes resulted in blindness.
The ratio of oxygen-18 to oxygen-16 in the world's oceans has varied
slightly over geologic time, oxygen breathing life forms consume oxygen-16
at a slightly greater rate and the closer a person lives to the Equator
the more oxygen-18 can be found in their dental enamel. Using these facts,
it is possible, in some cases, to determine the region a person was
originally from. A number of skeletal remains found in England have been
shown to be people from the southern part of the Roman Empire.
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 grabbed a cargo flight from Cyprus and
are on their way to his facility.
The Friday Element Quiz Arbitration Board (FEQAB) has also disqualified
the submission from Doug Pauls. Doug had stated that Bonium was the
element in question. However, FEQAB research shows that Bonium is actually
a real drug comprised of calcium citrate and vitamin D3 used in the
treatment of low blood calcium levels. Since Bonium is comprised of
calcium, it can't very well be the half fractional element between calcium
and potassium. As a side note, what are the chances that Doug would create
a half fractional element name where a real product exists - time to buy a
lottery ticket. As CEO S. White stated "he was soooo close this time".
So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
Past Quiz winners/tasks:

prolific part of the growing season and weeds abound. The John Deeres
will be very useful to help eliminate them. Kloumpios has said he will
prepare a traditional Cypriot ttavas (lamb pieces with veggies with
cumin and wild herbs, slow oven-cooked in a special unglazed clay pot -
Google it) for the 1 April Cyprus National Day.
