In order of their postings Schwinja is the winner with 13 correct answers. StoneWoods the second runner up with 13 correct answers and higgins ... since he also got 13 correct I will nose through the trash and send him something "special" too.

I was just checking now that I did in fact post the results last week. Well over 200 folks looked at the quiz before it expired.
It was fun doing this and I wish others would do the same in the future .
The only cost to me was less than ten bucks postage mailing out the prizes to the top three contenders.
All it takes is really the time write out some questions and a trip to the post office.Hope everyone enjoyed it.
