[TerryE]

Congrats everyone. Looks like I just missed.

[Dan Hocker]

I sent all the winners emails asking for some information. If your prize is something you already have, let me know and we can substitute something else.

I'm so excited! The last time I won anything, it was a call-in radio contest in college! (I knew that "01" was the number on the side of the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and won a transistor radio.)

[Dan Hocker]

[Robert Fulman]

Is this contest over? Can we discuss answers now? Is Richard Chizmar's favorite book "Lady Chatterly's Lover"?

[Ben Staad]

but I can take solace in the fact that I already own the top three prizes!

Then you are already a winner in my book!

[Menace]

Even if I was the only one to enter the contest I would still lose the way my luck goes.

[Martin]

As I said earlier I probably did not get enough to win, but I can take solace in the fact that I already own the top three prizes!

[Hedda Gabler]

You might get a consolation prize as I was laughing pretty hard at yours.

I'm glad you laughed. You guys work hard, you need a smile every now and then.

[Robert Fulman]

Nuts. My main strategy was to hope that fewer than 10 people entered.

[Dan Hocker]

Dan, Dan, Dan -- you must be mistaken. Did you read my entry carefully? I think it's safe to say that I can tell everyone, "Eat My Dust!" and walk away with the grand prize.

[Ben Staad]

So exciting! I wish I would have spent more time studying (CD) and less time reading their darn books

[Dan Hocker]

Also a side note, no one has gotten all 11 correct.

[Dan Hocker]

Ok, so here's how i'm scoring these. I add up the regular questions first. Then if multiple people got the same number right, I look at the Bonus question. Then if multiple people got those right it's by whoever sent their answers in first. Same for if you got the same number right and not the bonus. I will say this though as I'm going through the submissions right now, if you got less than 8 of the main answers correct you are probably out of the running.
