Here is the Element Quiz Answer:

The Question:
Very little is known about this element as only a few atoms have ever been
produced. You get this element due to element decay when americium-243 is
bombarded with ions of calcium-48. The most stable isotope of this element
has a half life of 0.48 seconds. What element is being described?

The Answer:
The element is Ununtrium (Uut)! Uut is a temporay name issued by the IUPAC
until an official name is selected. Uut has 5 known isotopes with Uut-228
being the most stable with a half life of 0.48 seconds.

The winner of the weekly element quiz is Robert Wolfe and he will get the
services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week.The boys had a fantastic
Thanksgiving holiday with Ravinder and his family (see below for details).
They are energized and ready to go to work. They expect to arrive at
Robert's place this weekend and have a productive week.

Week 66, Brian Ellis
- Wow! The boys have been here for two weeks. I haven't had much for them
to do, so they've been chugging down to the beach nearly every day, as last
week was an Indian summer with temperatures in the upper 20s, no doubt the
last of the year's good weather. It broke with violent thunderstorms a
couple of days ago. They have also visited the family and I took them to
the top of Mount Olympus where they communed with the gods. They are now
fit, well, and are raring to go on to their next mission, wherever that may
be.

Week 67, Ravinder Ajmani, HGST
- Our facility is in San Jose, CA and the weather now is just gorgeous,
sunny and low seventies.  If the boys can make it quick then they can enjoy
a few days of this nice weather, as we are expecting some rain by the
weekend. This is a short week but they can definitely help me with my
testing until tomorrow.  They are most welcome to spend Thanksgiving with
us, or do sight-seeing and enjoy the surroundings.

The boys and their spouses left Bay-area late on Sunday.  They really had a
good time at the Thanksgiving gathering at my brother's place.  Everyone
loved the mashed potatoes and the corn bread with unique recipe baked by
Kloumpios.  All of them were a real sport, and enjoyed the turkey baked
with Indian touch.  Of course I had to be extra vigilant about their
Akvavit consumption.

Week 68 Robert Wolfe
- assisted with ????


Everyone have a safe week.
