Yeah, i'll second its legitness. It's 2 legit 2 quit. I got the pre sittin' in my studio right now to prove it. [[url=http://[/URL]="http://recording.or…"]This[/]="http://recording.or…"]This[/] is the end of the last contest. All newcomers should dig up the old contests and read them thoroughly. You will see first hand how things work and how sick and twisted Seb can be!

Oh, and freaky, I meant to tell you this, but right at the end of last contest, youre not gonna believe where I was... at the AES convention in San Francisco! I was right in your backyard! It was heartbreaking, not being able to discuss going on the trip on RO so I could meet people, worrying about leaving the contest and losing, etc. In the end, I just said fuck it and went anyway. I took a laptop for when I was in my hotel room (the downtown Hilton - that was interesting; the workers were on strike)Luckily for me, what happened did happen while I was in my room. It really sucked a lot of the fun out of the convention, however. So, guys, you may thing you'll get something for free if you win, but no, you will pay for it. Somehow.

Ahh , c’mon guys ….. who do you think it’s actually costing the most.. :shock:
The problem is I get sympathetic and want you all to win.

Dave ,, I’m still going to give you 40 points because you were indeed the first to answer….
However , you spelt Perry wrong ( Berry ) so you miss out on twenty points.
Macombaland gets the twenty extra points for answering with the correct spelling.

David, it's too bad you didn't look me up! Next time you're in SF, we have to go for beers. My favorite contest story is on Halloween night (huge occasion here in SF...) I have to go to the bar that has computers with internet access so I can keep tabs on the contest! My fiance was ready to kill. Worse than that is when she asked where I wanted to go on vacation and the first thing out of my mouth was "Melbourne, maybe we could tour the Sebatron shop!" :lol:

Ah, so I'm guessing there is a Mrs. Sebatron. Tell her that we really do apreciate the time she lets you spend here with us! 8-) Do you have any fun contest/ relationship stories to share? (If I'm not getting too personal...)

Bri Sat, 10/01/2005 - 18:39

Hey abmac!

I actually couldn't find it either, so I did my own calculations based on the average size of a flea's egg....calculated the volume then weight, assuming a relatively spherical shape, and that the make up of the egg was mostly fluid. It took some time....I'm no mathematician. Egad the conversions! Not sure about my nomenclature, but I didn't dare edit or repost. I calculate less than five percent error. ;)

Shoot, missed this round!...was on the road...was traveling "North By Northwest" for the past six hours. Guess I'm "The Odd Man Out" this time around. Good to be back home though..it's nice to have "A Place Of One's Own" in lieu of hotels all week. Hmmm it's Autumn here now. I guess that means Sebatron is probably enjoying the "Spring and Port Wine" these days.

Since Perfectwave answered two questions and should have answered only one AND since neither David nore Bri answered with "true or false" I'm hoping this question is still open...

James Mason was a good actor or not? True or False...

If I say TRUE, then I'm saying that James Mason WAS a good actor or not. If I say FALSE, then I'm saying that James Mason WASN'T a good actor or not.

Since we know that James Mason was indeed an actor, the correct answer must be TRUE whether he was good or not. If the answer was FALSE, that would mean that he wasn't an actor at all.

I say TRUE!

Compared to Jessican Simpson, yes.

It's not really a subjective question. The words can be rearranged in a better way to illustrate my point...

James Mason was an actor, good or not?

There is only one answer to that and it is TRUE because James Mason was an actor. It's actually a statement and not a question at all. Hence the True or False answer. The fact that it is a statement and not a question brings up the question "if it's a statement then why the question mark?" To this I can only say that it is there to confuse us all.

Of course, all of this assumes that Seb is talking about the actor and not just one of his neighbors.

Gold weighs 19.32 g per cubic centimeter.

Freaky - well done ! That was the kind of answer I was looking for..
....... but then again , how long is a centimeter? :shock:

Unfortunately most of the other answers were either plagued with excessive DATA or suffered timing problems.:cry:
Remember you have to get in early for the full points....
