[Dan Hocker]

When will everyone be notified of my win?

I will be victorious and I will scratch myself!

All of you can take your toys and go home now. Nothing to see here.

okay, I'm just bustin' chops. I didn't answer one question right.

You are correct on that front. You should post your answers for everyone's amusement. However, because it was soo amusing to me, I decided to send you a prize anyways. I'm not gonna tell what it is, I'll let that be a surprise.

Thanks for the contest Dan!

I was lucky enough to get 4th place.

Congrats to all of the other winners...including Hedda. Those answers were classic!

[Martin]

I missed two and the bonus, one of the ones I missed I thought I had correct. The others were guesses. Congratulations to the winners! Squire, I believe Taverns of the Dead is one you have been wanting, so double congratulations!

[peteOcha]

Congratulations everyone!! Glad to see you on the winners list Squire!!!

And I like your answers Hedda!

[srboone]

Thanks, Martin! I've passed that one up so many times on the secondary market, Iwas going crazy!

[srboone]

Hedda, Hedda, Hedda...You are baggin pretty heavily on my girl Shelly! I don't know how to take all this..... (with a sense humor and a big grin! +11!)

And thanks, pete!

[Grant Wootton]

I was so excited I for got to congratulate everybody who won!



Yes, congratz all! ...Especially Amanda.

Way to go Squire !!!! Excellent result and well played !!!! --- and to the other guys as well, of course

[srboone]

Thank you, Mr. Woot! I thought about the Academy Award acceptance speech I wrote in the 2nd grade that I realized, about the age of 17 or so, I'd never have use for due to lack of talent...

[TerryE]

I had 8, but missed the bonus question, otherwise I think I would have been one of the lower ones. Drat! Next time, next time...

[Dan Hocker]

Should have just about all the prizes shipped out today. I think I'm still waiting to hear back from one person.

[Teriw]

I'm not giving squire any answers anymore. lol

[srboone]

You gave me the answer to the bonus question, but I'd already sent mine in. I missed the one about the year they moved to the current facilities. I misread the history of CD, I put the year they got the current warehose, I think. Otherwise, I coulda had Four Octobers (not that I'm unhappy at all!) I was concerned that since I sent mine in so early, that someone who spent all week on the thing might have come up with all 11 correct answers.

[Teriw]

I think I did the same thing for the new facilities question. Having trouble figuring out which ones I got wrong. lol. the one I left blank is obvious tho
