<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1280612, member: 31533&quot;]I am starting a new contest called WHO&#039;S ON FIRST? and it will have several questions you have to answer, as well as one more component: you have to take the FIRST letter of each of your answers (minus the word &quot;the&quot;, &quot;a&quot;, or &quot;an&quot;, and the like) and tell me what that spells a numismatically related word or placename (example: like if the first letters of the answers were ETNC you could make it right by saying &quot;CENT&quot;). Some answers to the questions may have two or more answers that could be given, but if you give the wrong version of the answer, you will not be able to do the last portion. For example, if the answer was Memorial Cent, so that M could be used in the mixed up letter puzzle, then if you give Lincoln Memorial Cent as the answer (technically it could be a version), you would have to use L in that puzzle, and if there isn&#039;t an L in it, you&#039;ll not make it all the way through. Or if the answer you give is President Lincoln or President Abe Lincoln (to get a P to use), but the version that will work in the puzzle is Abe (or Abraham) Lincoln for a letter A, then you will be stuck. I will try to limit these versions, but can&#039;t guarantee someone won&#039;t come up with something. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I want everyone to join in, but make your answers count.....I would like no more than two guesses IN TOTAL for each person.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The prize will be a mystery, because if I have to send to the US or Canada it will be one thing, and if I have to send to another country, it may have to be something else so it can be shipped (if I find that the prize I want to give is not shipable to another country).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Contest will end one week from now, to give all who want to play time to do so.....and yes you can look up answers - I actually expect you may have to. But beware your sources! This is a learning contest too, so put your answers to the questions here if you dare, but PM the puzzle answer, so that you don&#039;t give that away to others (and if you want to put your answers in the PM, that&#039;s ok too)....</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Any ties (meaning all correct answers on both parts) will have a winner drawn randomly.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So...... let the games begin:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>here&#039;s the questions:</p><p>1) First animal on a coin</p><p>2) First coin to bear the motto &quot;In God We Trust&quot;</p><p>3) First illustrated numismatic book</p><p>4) First coin used in the modern decimal system</p><p>5) First coin that lead to the creation of the &quot;Waffler&quot;</p><p>6) First blind person to be on US Coin</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>(And don&#039;t forget to work out the puzzle&nbsp; ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>(and hopefully I haven&#039;t in some way messed up on this in formulating it)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
