Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Question:
The Question:
This element was known to the Egyptians in its mineral form. Alloying 2%
of this element with another element produces an alloy that when used in
hammering/striking applications will not cause sparks - an especially good
characteristic in an explosive gas environment. A compound of this element
has been used to produce hydrogen for fuel cells. What is the element is
being described?
The winner of the weekly element quiz will get the services of Clumpy and
Kloumpios for the week.
So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
Past Quiz winners/tasks:
Week 1 Dick Krug, Spartan Complex Systems

Week 3 Pat Goodyear, PGE
Week 4 Joe Russeau, Precision Analysts Laboratory
Week 5 Tom Carroll, Boeing Defense, Space and Security
Week 6 Steve Gregory
Week 7 Phil Kinner, PVA
- assisted with booth duty at a French tradeshow and then helped get an
Easter egg hunt ready for 20 kids
Week 8 Brian Ellis
- the guys arrived this morning, thanks. This is the end of the most
prolific part of the growing season and weeds abound. The John Deere's
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.
Week 9 James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited
- My Welsh colleague Jeff, whose desk is next to mine, was on holiday this
last week so Clumpy and Kloumpios parked themselves in his seat and spent
the week spouting jibes and insults, particularly about English Rugby - it
was just like Jeff was still there! I think you could put that down as
"providing workplace entertainment and uplifting moral".
Week 10 Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc.
- assisted with a 5S effort - They're scrubbing, replacing old floor tape,
and helping to get things in pristine shape.
Week 11 ????

Everyone have a safe week!
