I’ll post the first of next week’s questions on Saturday, January 8. Please come back and play again for the chance to win another cool 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.
