I’ll post the first of next week’s questions on Saturday, January 22. Please come back and play each new daily question for the chance to win next week’s prize!
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.
