Well it was all over by the time I looked.
I too have a periodic table at my desk. It's printed on my tea mug so I will
never lose it!

Subject: Re: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Question

The problem here is that unless Dave has a trick up his sleeve, I 
replied, within a minute of receiving the question, I sent my answer yet 
it is time dated 13 minutes after the question, with two others having 
beaten me by 3 minutes. Guess e-mailing is slow when it has to pass 
through umpteen nodes. And yes, I have a periodic table wall chart above 
my desk! :)

happen to be in Florida on business, so in this case, I did see the question
with time to answer.
