Subject: [Non-DoD Source] [TN] Element Quiz Question



Here is the Element Quiz Question:



The Question:

This element has been called the "most essential element on earth". It has

3 allotrophic forms. Electrical discharges produce one of the element's allotropes which has a distinctive pungent odor. This element is not flammable but it does cause other materials to burn rapidly. This element can share electrons to form covalent bonds or accept electrons to form ionic bonds. Which element is being described?





The winner of the 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 Ravinder Ajmani, Western Digital

Week 1 Ron Feyereisen, SigmaTron Intl.

Week 2 Louis Hart, Compunetics

Week 3 Mark Kostinovsky, Schlumberger Ltd.

Week 3 John Burke

Week 4 Drew Meyer, Benchmark Electronics Week 5 No Winner - no correct responses!

Week 6 Bhanu Sood, NASA

Week 7 Keith Calhoun, Sopark Corp

Week 7 Ian Fox, Rolls Royce

Week 8 Leland Woodall

Week 8 David Bealer, SMT

Week 9 Tom Carroll, Boeing

Week 10 Louis Hart, Compunetics

Week 11 Tom Carroll, Boeing



Week 11 Scott Decker, UTAS

-   Sorry for the delay also. I was in a global even for our company and

also working with Clumpy and Kloumpios to keep them working on the board designs I was doing before the event so I could stay in the event. It’s never a dull moment in our company and as it turns out, I still needed to help them out, but they did get me through until today, Friday so it was still all worth it! J It’s pretty amazing that they can adapt to so many jobs that they get sent to, I wish I could do everything as well as they do, I could be a star! However, that said, I try to under achieve since that keeps me out of the lime light and not the spot light or cross hairs… :-/



Week 12 Matthias Mansfeld, Mansfeld Elektronik PCB Design and Assembly

- The boys can help me to compare a reverse-engineered old multilayer layout against the x-rays from the original (no data, no schematics, no gerbers at all available, but the urgent need for some spare units....), can coil some dozens RF toroids and last, but not least (if they aren't allergic against

cats) can entertain our tomcats* (who are not amused at the ugly wet wet thaw here...). I've heard Clumpy and Kloumpios can meanwhile apparate and disapparate like Harry Potter, thus there is no need to pick them up from the next airport (would be MUC)?



Week 13 No Quiz, the boys were helping Doug Pauls, Rockwell Collins, with his IPC Hall of Fame Award



Week 14 Matthias Mansfeld, Mansfeld Elektronik PCB Design and Assembly

- the boys arrived last Friday, spent the weekend at some carnival events here around (quite cold and rainy at Tuesday, but with the help of some bavarian beer and a lot of mulled wine, they came back in a very good

mood........) Later the boys finished the RF toroids from last week, delivered the stuff to my assembly house, where they were really surprised about the *poof* apparition in their backyard....., and maybe they will tomorrow go snowboarding with my big daughter and some friends in Tyrol..

Here in Bavaria we have currently one week school holidays.



Week 15 Bhanu Sood, NASA

- Clumpy and Kloumpios arrived safely from EU…swearing never to fly discount airlines again, repeatedly citing experiences that are so eloquently described in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6pj3Fdbwng

Soon after landing at Dulles, Clumpy and Kloumpios drove to Goddard Space Flight Center where they toured the NASA campus including an up close viewing of the James Webb Space Telescope which just completed multi dof vibration testing. Although a clean tent currently covers JWST, Clumpy managed a selfie before it gets moved into the Goddard acoustics chamber where it will be exposed to the noise levels that arise from an Ariane 5 launch.

Both Clumpy and Kloumpios totally want to experience what 150 decibel racket would feel like. The boys are enjoying a warm week here in the DC area, with the cherry blossoms almost a month ahead of schedule, nobody’s complaining!



Week 16 ????

- ????





I hope everyone has a awesome week!
