18 hrs is a long time...LOL Please, those of you who are not in the contest, refrain from posting answers..thanks in advance. RickieB
Rickie - One potential problem I see with this - the PM function does not allow attachments. How are they supposed to send you .jpeg's ?
Hello Doug and contestants. The links you all have sent are coming through as well as some of the jpegs you have found. Links with the correct images will be accepted. I will post the answers to the Element#1 at aprox 6:10 PM after Element #2 has been posted. Let me say that only 5 people are really in the contest at this point in time. Good luck everyone. I am surprised at the number of folks that dropped out by not submitting answers that signed up for the contest. At the end of Element#3 there will be a bonus question and the correct response will receive a 1924 Peace Dollar in EXto AU condition for the correct information...the second of 2 bonus prizes to be awarded. Everyone has until 6:00 PM this evening to get your answers in..you never know until I print the PM's and verify the answers. Regards, RickieB
Nevermind. I forgot to opt-in. I should probably learn to read, lol. I got them all right expect D-2. I don't very much like that question
At current time..only 5 people are in the running for the prize and bonus prize! There is a second bonus prize to be awarded during Element # 3 starting 17 hours and 40 min from now. RickieB
