    Thank you richarrb and Welcome to CT! Hang around a while and you will find a lot of fun contests pop up from time to time.

    Thanks Missie! (FreakyGsMom) I'm glad the contest theme(s) were interesting to you and you found some tangents to read about after digging up the answers.

    Hi Bob! bobbeth87 Hope you are doing well.

    Coinman1974: Stan, thanks very much for the kind thoughts. Hope all is well with you and your work.

    Everyone please remember that even though you have submitted your answers already, you may change any or all answers up to the cut off time, Sunday, 6/20/2010 at 11:59 pm (ET). Each revision submitted will stand as your final answer(s) for any question(s) you may have changed, even if you previously submitted the correct answer but changed your mind and got it wrong by editing.

    Link to the Rules in the original thread.

    So don't be discouraged to keep reading and if you realize you have something wrong, to resubmit your answer(s).

    If there are multiple contestants with all 10 of the questions correct resulting in a tie, an 11th multi-part question will be posed as a tie-breaker. Subsequent ties may be broken by drawing remaining names from a hat, if required.

    PM sent, and I had a great time researching this. I believe I got them all right except for question #4, and I think I have a 33.3% chance of getting #5 right.

    Great contest, thanks Krispy!

    =====================


    We started with 43 eligible contestants, lost one member who resigned from CT (lincolnhoardr), while a couple of others just joined us to play along for fun of it. From the 43 eligible contestants, I received answers from 14 eligible contestants and of those, 7 contestants answered all 10 questions correctly and on time:

    Congratulations!

    As stated in the Rules thread, in the event of a tie amongst eligible contestants, an 11th multi-part question will be posed as a tie-breaker.

    Soon, I will post the tie-breaker question in this thread. The remaining 7 contestants will have until Wednesday, June 23rd 2010 by 11:59 pm (ET) to PM their answers to me.

    Subsequent ties may be broken by drawing remaining names from a hat, if required.

    =====================

    I would like to thank everyone who has commented and participated in the contest to date and for the kind words and enthusiasm expressed both in the contest threads and in your PMs. Many of you did very well answering the questions and only missed one or two questions. Question number 4 seems to have posed the most difficulty of the 10 questions. I will post all of the answers to the questions including the tie-breaker question when the winners are determined and announced. Thanks everyone. :smile

    Tie-breaker question for the 7 remaining contestants:

    11) Ulysses S. Grant himself appeared on many Series of U.S. Postage Stamps and U.S. Paper Money. The 3¢ Army and Navy Commemorative Stamps – Issue of 1936-37 features three Civil War era Generals' portraits. Grant is one of them. One of the other two Generals appeared of three Series of U.S. Paper Money with the same engraved portrait.

    a) Which General was this?

    b) Name any of the three currency Series that depict the General's same engraved portrait from the 1936-37 stamp.

    c) Name the General's Civil War era ride? (Please provide the horse's name.)



    Answers must be sent by PM no later than Wednesday, June 23rd 2010 at 11:59 pm (ET)

    Good luck!
