Hm…
I’d like to say this one’s easy, but now I’m having second thoughts…
December 15th, 2007
I wish there was a way we could find the answer immediately but be disqualified from the competition. …Or be emailed the answer after. just a thought

Interesting idea Rob, I am thinking that would be impossible to implement since peoples honesty will vary.
December 15th, 2007
Rob, i don’t think that would be practical. It is too easy to make a second email account that isn’t related to the one that would be disqualified. That way the user could just email in the right answer from a different address…

As many of you know I try to vary the difficulty of the guessed thing. Last week and this week I have attempted to make them very hard to guess.

Psst. Shouldn’t the contest dates read “Dec 15-16″?
