And The Winner Is...


WOW! is all I have to say! WOW! This is what went down...
For the Tiebreaker I took some contestants advice and took an excerpt from an old archived post and gave it to the two finalists. Who were the finalists? Osbasso and Katehopeeden! They both did an oustanding job by getting 23 of the 25 answers! I couldnt believe it! I got in touch with them both and after an embarrasing false start last night (again my humblist of appologies!) I sent the excerpt out at 11am eastern time this morning. Well, I don't know what secret browsing tricks these guys have but their answers came in at 11:02 and 11:04 am!!! And the winner was this person. Mega congrats to you both! I cannot believe how well you two did. I myself would have got maybe 10 correct if I had played.
And for the rest of you, here are the right answers: A9 - B3 - C8 - D11 - E15 - F22 - G1 - H24 - I7 - J10 - K18 - L13 - M5 - N20 - O25 - P2 - Q14 - R19 - S23 - T17 - U21 - V12 - W4 - X16 - AND Y6.
If you are interested, here is the clue I gave them to find the hidden post...

here you go Os and Kate: look for this excerpt from a post of mine. it is with a pic and this is only part of the post. may the best blogger win!
"picture a dry erase board to my life that says : 5,475 days without stepping on a nail"
im sure well have a winner within minutes!

Do you know where it is?
Thanks again to you all for playing! I hope you all had fun! I know I did.

K--I was just kidding. I bow to the quicker, nimbler mind and fingers you possess! Though the sore loser in me bets that you had an easier word verification than I did (took me 2 attempts, dammit!).

Os, five words for you hon:
I am on dial up.
'nuff said :P

congrats to every one, I think I got mine and maybe one more, I did not have enough time to research this week, the numbers in my head for training are killing me. I am not saying I am at the same skill, just saying you two have an impecible researching talent. Way to go!

let me clean mine first, though. i'd hate to be identified by the hunk of broccoli that went flying out of the pot last night and landed on my floor.
