Here is the Element Quiz Answer; The Question: This element is derives its name from an ore mined in a specific region of ancient Greece. This element has magnetic properties. Huge amounts of this element are found in the ocean. This element has been found in pure form in meteorites. This element is found in brewer's yeast. What element is being described? The Answer: The element is Manganese (Mn). Manganese derives its name from the ore magnesite (or dolomite) which at one time was mined from the ancient Greek region of Magnesia. Nodules of magnesium are found on the ocean floor (in excess of millions of tons) but a cost effective recovery method has not been found. Manganese plays a significant role in the composition of many modern steels. The winner of the weekly element quiz is Ed Popielarski and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. Leland had the right ore but did not submit the element name (you might ask Doug for advice on filing a protest). The boys hopped on a cargo flight and are heading to San Francisco on the way to Ed's facility. So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following: Past Quiz winners/tasks: Week 1 Dick Krug, Spartan Complex Systems Week 2 Laura Turbini, IRC Week 3 James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited Week 3 Pat Goodyear, PGE Week 4 Joe Russeau, Precision Analysts Laboratory Week 5 Tom Carroll, Boeing Defense, Space and Security Week 6 Steve Gregory Week 7 Phil Kinner Week 8 Brian Ellis Week 9 James Head,Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited Week 10 Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc.

They've been busy all week working on conformal coating drawings and decorating the hallway of my house. We're having a new kitchen delivered in a few weeks so as a reward I've told them they can eat up every bit of food they can find in the current kitchen. I guess we'll be eating out tonight! Week 62 Leland Woodall - assisted with ???? Week 62 Brien Bush, Cirtronics - assisted with ???? Week 63 Pat Goodyear, PGE - Sweeet, send the boys on their tractors, time for refuel. Been working at the power plant for a month, tell them to be ready for nights next week. I've got some neutrons for them to sweep up and refill. Week 64 Ed Popielarski - ???? Everyone have a safe week.
