I’ll post the first of next week’s questions on Saturday, January 15. Please come back and play again for the chance to win a $20 gift certificate from BnBFinder.com.
And one housekeeping note: You’re most welcome–indeed, encouraged–to answer each of the week’s seven questions, but only one correct answer per contestant per daily question will be thrown into the draw. So to increase your chances of winning, try the new question each day. Thanks!
I pick the contest winner weekly by putting all the correct answers in an e-mail file and using a number generated at the website Random.org. If I have 40 answers in the file and Random.org spits out the number 29, say, the person who sent the 29th answer in the file wins the prize.
