Hello Everyone...feel challenged yet? Just a note to let you know that the Bonus questions will be posted in the Contest Fourm by 10:00 AM tomorrow morning. Thus far only 1/3 of the original people who signed up have submitted answers.....WOW!! What happened everyone? Everyone seemed so eager to get started. RickieB
Me neither...those questions were wearing me out!!! I doubt I even got 20% of them right....but I guess it's worth trying anyway = )
RickieB, I have been following your contest and this one is pretty tough. I wish I had had the time to participate. Great contest!!! :thumb: Lou
Same here, I had trouble with those answers. I tried number 1, but only got around 50%. And since you said some people had 85%, I gave up :-\ I'll try the bonus questions though (hopefully, lol)
Good morning everyone... Some of you have asked if I have received your PM's.... The answer is yes. I save all the PM's, print them, work out the percentage of correct answers and then figure out the time based on the computer time stamp each of you replied. The person with the fastest time and the greatest % of correct answers will be deemed the winner, 2nd place ect..ect.. So being the fastest is not always the way to win.....I will post the results once I go through all the information. The notes I purchased for this contest have been confirmed and are currently on the way to me..... Thank you all for you hard work on this..they are some nice notes and well worth the lost sleep and information dig. Best regards, RickieB
Rickie, I think I speak for all the contests when I say I would like to thank you for holding this contest. The prizes are amazing and the questions were a fun and educational. I personally love history, and for me...these questions are sort of a historical treasure hunt. So, once again...thank you from the bottom of my heart for holding the contest. I have no doubt you spent as much time putting the questions together as we did answering them. :thumb:
Thank you for the kind words, Richie! RichieB and all the other contestants, it is indeed my pleasure to do this. It is a lot of work fro all of us, no doubt! I am alwyas amazed by the amount of knowledge and desire there is among folks like you and all the people working on this! In my Heart of Hearts, I wish I could send all you guy's a duplicate of the prizes for a Xmas gift....but until I hit the lottery, these Contest will have to do...LOL Best regards to you all... RickieB
Very kind words Rickie, and the feeling is mutual. I have learned a lot about collecting paper currency from you and I really appreciate it. If I ever hit the lottery, you can bet I'll send a Rainbow note your way.
Now he has gone and done it! RickieB is forcing me to get another book to add to my collection. Unfotunately since I don't own that book I now need to get, I can't answer the second bonus question. :rolling: But all I can say is thanks for a great contest. I have learned a lot and need to learn a lot more....... Thanks.....!!!! Smaugy
LOL - Rick, you always run great contests that really challenge people to learn and explore different aspects of the hobby. Most people have no idea what they are in for if they haven't participated before. For those that do not have easy access to the written materials they need - they will find your contest pretty much impossible to complete. It encourages members to read more and understand that not everything can be found on-line. My brother-in-law is 15 years my senior, has a private law practice, degree in sociology, and a professor at a local college. He hates for his students to use the Internet for study projects and I always criticize him for this as the Internet is a powerful tool. Your contest just reinforces that it is only one tool and you should never just rely on just one tool to understand complex topics. Again - Great Contest RickieB I know the winners will be very happy with the end result both in what they have learned and what they have won!!!
I too appreciate the work you went though to create such a fun/informative contest. Not a give away, but a real contest. Thank you kind sir! You have helped me to greatly accelerate my knowledge.
