One answer was submitted late by Name. It will not count. I am sorry.

One answer to a previous question from Things2Do was not delivered to me due to a technical error. However, I am giving T2D the benefit of the doubt, and will adjust points accordingly.

Perfect Timing!

Correct Answers:
Transistor - Name

I was debating whether to accept MadCow's "power source", and I decided to. Although that is not a technical term, a voltage source always produces an influx of power in a circuit with a nonzero current. So,

Power Source - MadCow2357

If it comes to a tie between MadCow and another user, however, the other user will have a higher rank. This is my ruling.

Standings:
First Place (100 points): Tailsfan101
