Dave,

I'm not sure what happened to TN email but sent my response to your quiz at 7:20pm on last Thursday night and I'm pretty sure  it was the first response.  I've attached a copy of my response from last Thursday night.  I know it will be stripped from the TN distribution but you should get the copy.

Regards,
George

Here is the Element Quiz Answer:

The Question:
This element is one of the best catalyst's on the planet for a wide variety of processes. It is considered a rare metal, making up only 1 part per 100 million parts of the Earth's crust. It can be worked into thin sheets and drawn into very thin wire form. It's name is derived from two mythological Greek figures. What element is being described?

The Answer:
The element is Palladium (Pd). Palladium derives its name from the asteroid Pallas, the name for two mythological Greek figures, one male and one female. Palladium can absorb 900 times its volume in hydrogen gas which is a unique characteristic and makes it a critical industry catalyst.
Originally palladium was called "white gold" by Brazilian miners as it was often found in gold ore.

The winner of the weekly element quiz is Brian Ellis and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. After a week of  "wonderful small town" immersion with Jim West, the boys caught a cargo flight to get to Cyrus to see Brian.

So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Week 64 Ed Popielarski
-The boys arrived safe and sound at Steve Gregory's house in Boise on Monday morning. They wisely decided the Electra glide was far too cumbersome for even the 4 gnomes to handle, so they got to work fabricating a motorcycle trailer to tow behind the tractor. They got on the road Wednesday evening, and drove the 600 mile trek non-stop, rotating shifts since there were 4 of them. At 25 MPH, it took them 24 hrs. to get to my house in Oak Harbor, WA. They arrived late last night and unloaded the trailer before hitting the rack.My wife insisted on making them comfortable for the night, so we set up the inflatable mattress on the living room floor. Those guys can really snore up a storm! Pix to follow on Steve's site later this weekend after we take them sight-seeing while waiting for the cargo plane to depart from Bellingham airport.

Week 65 Jim West, N.S. International
- Awesome, good timing as I have a few good projects that start this week.
We are located in Ohio in-between Columbus and Cincinnati.  The town we are near is Sabina Ohio and it's a classic one traffic light, don't blink or you'll miss the whole town as you are driving through.  The boys might enjoy a setting like this with all the farmers and their tractors and animals and such.  I'll get the boys right to work after they arrive.  I'm in the process of putting together a new proto-type line for the products we make, so their help comes at an excellent time.  Send them my way Ed!
The quite night life and simple surroundings might be good for the boys.

Week 66, Brian Ellis

Everyone have a safe week.
