    BEP Trivia - We Have a Winner!

    I finally received the results from Price-Waterhouse for the BEP Trivia contest. A little wrap up before the winner is revealed.

    I enjoyed putting this together for you all. I was a little disappointed in that I expected more participants but it appears as though we had a spirited competition. If I ever do something like this again, I will prepare the questions and answers for the entire contest ahead of time. I only prepared the first five or so and the rest were done on the fly. Some I did not know the answer to when I posted the question and the early returns were helpful in leading me to the answer for those. I especially appreciated those who cited sources in their answers. I thought the answers on many questions were going to be more difficult than they were and was pleased to see so many correct answers.

    I got way off-schedule but as I noted in one of the posts sometimes life gets in the way. I appreciate the patience that most of you showed in that regard.

    I hope you all learned something along the way and had fun. That was what it was all about anyway.

    Oh, yeah, the winner. No one answered all 20 parts of the final question correctly. Gsalexan scored the most on that question with 14 correct followed by SteveInTampa with 11 and three others who had 10 correct. In the end, Kasia held on to her lead to win. Congratulations. The final standings are below.

    Congrats to Kasia! It's a shame I only caught the tail end of the contest. I would support having more contests like these.
