How to win the Paper Money Contest Quote from Daggerjohn. "i dont know if this has beenposted already or not, but wanted to clarify - the the winner of each 'phase' is the first person to post the correct answer? in a thread post.. or PM? What happens if 3 different people win an element? I dont mean to be nit picky, but just curious." The Contest will have 3 elements as I discussed before. It would be in your best interest to PM me the answers to all the elements as you complete them. The PM with the correct answers with the earliest "time stamp" will of course lead the rankings. The key to winning is to be ready when each element is posted and be the first to answer it. It will not be easy and the hours are tough, no doubt. In the event that no one gets all elements correct or there is a "tie" on the earliest time stamp, then the people with the correct answers will be placed in a pool and be selected via my Son AJ by name drawing. The PM's sent to me will all be printed and examined for errors or not and placed in time stamp folders for each of the 25 players. Remember, we are playing off a time stamp the computer provides on all PM or emails. Be smart, and be the first and most of all...be ready!! All answers to the elements and their sources will be posted after the completion of that element! The first and second elements should pose little difficulty for you all..it is the third one that is tougher. So be awake, ready to read and research and you should have no problems. It was tough back in the mid to late 1800's and this contest be it somewhat strange, will be a little tough as well. Good hunting everyone. RickieB
