I HATE to do this, but I must since an injustice has been done. Zemlin deserves the full points for his answer to question seven becuase freaky's and mike's posts were edited. Freaky started with a very long but correct post - he must have missed the length requirement. - then he edited his post and cut it down to 17 words. Finally, he edited it again to become the answer that stands now. Freaky, please forgive me for this, but Zem really does deserve the points. I hope you aren't disqualified, but I think you won second prize last time if I remember correctly so I guess it's not so bad.

Mike, I owe you one, so here it goes: Mike's answer that stands now is actually his fourth, and it is also 21 words long. It doesn't show that it has been edited since two of the changes were deletions. Also, the third change was an edit, but if you edit directly after you've made a post, the 'last edited' message does not show. This is also why Freaky's post only shows that it was edited one when in fact it was edited twice.
Mike, I hope since were even now we can be friends. Forgive me, but again this just isn't fair.

anonymous Wed, 10/06/2004 - 13:56

It's true, I did correct my word count. It's also true that the edited versions were still the third answer, long before zemlin's post. It's true as well that I did already win a vmp in the last contest. If what I've done is deemed unfair, so be it, it's been fun and part of me would rather someone who doesn't own a Sebatron wins this anyway...

zemlin Wed, 10/06/2004 - 14:02

I knew my post was late, but since things like numbers, third (valid?) post, etc were a little vague I thought I'd post something anyway.

A lot of my parts that feel that way!!! :P

Whatever SEB says is OK with me.

Sebatron Thu, 10/07/2004 - 01:32

....Awwwww....... You guys ...... :wink:

...I wish i had enough vmp to spare and give out to all of you ,, ... but unfortunately i'm not Oprah ... :lol:

Zemlin deserves the full points for his answer to question seven

ok then ,,,... Zemlin gets 25 points.... 8-)

I did my calculations ,, applied some sympathy and came up with the following scores .... not negotiable ....

They are locked in.

MIKE AT THE CAVE : 15 points

MHUGHES : 25 points

ZEMLIN : 25 points

FREAKY: 35 points

THE BEAST: 45 points

Good luck to all of you , everyone still has a chance to win.....
Good Karmic awareness will aid your pursuit ( if it's not evident already ) ... 8-)

anonymous Thu, 10/07/2004 - 06:01

Everything happens during the night!!! i dont have a chance, I need my sleep for work. Why are you from australia????!!! :cry: I keep checking every minute of everyday and the questions only appear the next morning with like 5 answers (from those people who don't sleep!!). Anyways, maybe you'll feel bad for me Seb and you'll send me a vmp too!!!! :lol: hehe!
Good luck to the people that don't eat and sleep!

Sebatron Thu, 10/07/2004 - 12:20

Why are you from australia????!!!

... because the coffee and food are slightly better .... :lol:

QUESTION NINE :

More like three questions than just one ,,, to give everybody a better chance rather than just the speed demons....

You are to choose one of the following questions... and answer just the one...
If your chosen question has already been answered , then choose another one.....
If they've all been answered ,,, you're just too late.... :lol:

Each question is worth between 10 and 30 points...
I know which question is worth the most and which the least .... you don't.

*YOU MUST CHOOSE ONE AND ONLY ONE
*YOU MUST NOT CHOOSE THE ONE(s) THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED.
*THERE ARE THREE CHOICES ONLY.

It couldn't get any simpler than that. 8-)

1/ Have they found Mallory's camera?
( no less than ten words )

2/ How many posts has Kurt Foster posted on R.O. as of right now….?
( just the number thanks )

3/ Did Scott actually reach the North Pole?
( simple yes or no answer ..... no more !)

…..Your time starts now,
Only the three posts accepted.
Get to it. :lol:
