Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:
The Question:
This element was discovered in our Solar system before being discovered on
Earth. The USA supplies most of the world this element and Amarillo, Texas
is a major production center. What is the element is being described?
The Answer:
The element is Helium (He)! French and English astronomers identified
helium as part of the sun in 1868 well before Sir William Ramsey
identified helium on earth in 1895. Both nitrogen and helium are produced
by fractional distillation of methane.
The winner of the weekly element quiz is Ian Braddock, MBDA Systems, and
he will get the services of Clumpy and
Kloumpios for the week. The boys caught a cargo flight out of Cedar Rapids
and are on their way. Lots of correct responses this week but Ian had the
fastest electrons.
So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

- assisted with performing cross sections for the team this week. If they
finish early, I'm going to let them spend a couple of days fishing at the
coast after our three day rain.
Week 14 Brian Ellis
- The boys are taking a red-eye flight back to you, eta 04:35 tomorrow
morning. They expect you to meet them at the airport as they have a
truck-load of Cypriot delicacies, including a bottle of zivania for Doug
to turn his Mountain Dew into Mountain firewater, ideal for cleaning PCBs.
My weather station is well calibrated, now.
Week 15 Tom Carroll, Boeing Defense, Space and Security
- Tell the boys to be prepared for helping do FOD walks at one of my
suppliers. I bet when the employees at this supplier see these 2 guys on
the FOD walk it will get their attention and help raise awareness of the
importance of preventing FOD.
Week 16 Steve Gregory
-I need them to help me start-up a new (used) Vitronics/Soltec wave
machine we recently got here. It's gonna' be fun (if that's what you want
to call it), we have to fill the Vitronics with a tin wash so we can get
the wave formers and nozzles out, clean everything up, and then empty the
pot. Then we've got to empty the pot in the old Electrovert machine that
we have and have that solder ready for the Vitronics. Then we'll play
musical wave machines by moving the Electrovert and placing the Vitronics
where it was sitting, then we'll fill the Vitronics again.
Week 17 Phil Kinner, PVA
