Hey Magman...

It is written right here....there will be 10 more in Element#2

Then we have the 2 bonus questions...



RickieB

 

Oh no! Hard questions! I just finished math HW to come do more work? J/K lol

 

am i in or not. i still didnt get a pm back?

 

I must have skipped over that

 

Answers are slowly coming in....no one has been 100% on Element#1 the easier of the 2 Elements.

Keep em coming.....Remember that the Greatest percentage correct in the fastest time will be deemed the winner! If you have the fastest time with a less % correct that the next entry..welll you know how that story goes...being correct is really more important that speed!
That is the only hint I am giving for Element#1


And Spock1 you never sent me a PM asking to be registered, so I am sorry that I can not extend the invitation to you or anyone else as the window for sign up has expired.

Best regards,

RickieB

 

Element 1 was pretty difficult. It's cool Rickie that you can keep the questions somewhat related to each other.

 

I think that you may very well enjoy Element #2 Greg!!


RickieB

 

look backing, I was very tired lol and should have waited, i think i left out some things.

very fun contest though

 

i think i got one question

 

Element #2 will post just before Midnight tonight!

Good luck to all.....


RickieB

 

Wow. Difficult! And since speed is a factor and some people have already gotten 80%+ correct I think my chances may have already gone down the toilet! lol

 

Not true....

There are 2 Elements and the fastest time will not deem the ultimate winner!
A greater % correct will define the winner combined with the fastest time!

Go get em Adam!!

I am seeing some very interesting answers come across....still no one has 100% ......The last contest I ended the Elements at specific times and posted answers...I will not do it that way this time.

Both Elements will be posted as well as the bonus questions and at 10:00 AM on Sunday morning when the contest ends, I will post answers within a few hours so everyone can see!

So get those answers in......

Only 5 people at this time have answered Element #1
