Crossword Contest

[hunter-27]

Hello to my IAP family and welcome to the 7th annual Birthday Bash. This challenge is simple and anyone can play. Complete the following puzzle HEREand submit it via the Entry Form. Some of the answers are more than one word. For the purpose of this puzzle, please omit any spaces when filling these into the puzzle. There will be TWO (2) prizes awarded for this contest. To make it fair for all time zones, there will be a random drawing from those to get the correctly solved puzzle to me (via e-mail) within TWELVE (12)hours of the contest announcement (this post) and a consolation prize awarded to a random draw winner selected from all remaining and correctly completed puzzle entries e-mailed to me by the end of the contest. This includes all entries except the 1st winner, so solve it early and you will have 2 chances at a prize.

1st Winner-6" calipers and $25 gift certificate donated by Wooden Wonders (Monty)

2nd Winner-3(three) 3D blanks and a pen bow w/ insert donated by Creative Dimensions (greenmtnguy and NewLondon88)

Only CORRECTLY COMPLETED entries count, so get it done as quickly as possible, but make sure you review your answers carefully. This contest will close at 11:00 PM EST on FEB 5th. Entries received after that time will not be eligible for the drawing. The time stamp on the received e-mail will be used to determine the grouping from which the initial winner will be drawn from.

A HUGE thanks to Curtis (MesquiteMan) for helping me get an interactive puzzle created.



Disclaimer: In the event of there being more than one "correct" answer to a given question, the one that fits within the puzzle parameters is the correct response. In the event two answers would happen to both fit the criteria, as long as it can be verified to be a correct response to the question, both answers will be considered correct for the purpose of the puzzle.

[terryf]

dont feel too bad Ryan, I got a whole lot more than 17 left

 

[MesquiteMan]

Come on, guys, it is not that hard! (even Landon, who created the crossword puzzle, had to cheat when he tested the interactive version I created!)

 

[Phunky_2003]

I got only a few left... but those have me stumped for the time being. I'll have to get back to it later. My brain hurts.

 

[Cole Roberts]

Yeah this is pretty tough I have 10 left and I doubt there going to come to me in the next few hours.

 

[David Keller]

I've got two left and strangely they're both wood questions. My googler is gonna be sore tomorrow!

 

[David Keller]

Has anyone besides Landon finished this puzzle?

 

[Cole Roberts]

I am at 9 left, and surprisingly it is like the entire right side of the puzzle, I don't know what more I am going to be able to get.

 

[RyanNJ]

12 left now and i am really stuck

 

[MesquiteMan]

Guys, there is a problem with the PDF creation process. We tested it out thoroughly, or so we thought, but for some reason, when you create the pdf file, it will create a blanks puzzle with none of your words filled in. I am really sorry for this and am quite embarassed! For the time being, if you happen to get the puzzle solved, please do a screen capture (alt key and prtScrn key) and then past the screen capture into your paint program. Save that file and send it to Landon via the entry form.

 

[Mack C.]

7 to go! Any traders on line?:biggrin:

 

[randywa]

Well crud, I guess the screen capture is next best. It WAS working.:at-wits-end:

 

[hebertjo]

I have 3 left! I have searched all over but have no idea what the answers are.

 

[Toni]

I give up unless someone wants to give me the answers :biggrin:

Please don't give up, 99 percent of the info is very IAP related. Google will help some but you might have to dig deeper for others. Keep at it.

I admire your effort, don't quit now. Just keep "searching" for some answers.

I've got two left and strangely they're both wood questions. My googler is gonna be sore tomorrow!

I am right there with you. Also, I have one that I think is misspelled. IOW, I think Landon Misspelled it, but I know it is right. Also the "Heavywood" has at least 3 answers that will work. :redface: I guess I will just have to quit now, but it was fun.:frown:

PM me if you think there is a mistake so I can double check. Also, do all three of your "Heavywoods" work with the intersecting word(s)? If so go back and read my disclaimer in the original post. :wink:

Hans, if it is the one we talked about on the phone, it is indeed correct as Landon has it. I double checked the spelling and it works on my end.

I just re-read, my post. I am in no way trying to poo poo Landon or Curtis in their efforts. This has been fun and frustrating (not unlike most crosswords I do).

I don't think Landon or myself took it that way, bud!

 

[omb76]

This just emphasized why I don't like crossword puzzles...LOL! 7 errors and 14 incomplete words. Good luck everyone!

 

[hewunch]

This thing is kicking my butt! 10 more to go and I've been at it for hours. Lots of fun though thanks guys, Your ears must be burning cause I've been saying some not so nice things about both of you!

 

[MesquiteMan]

Hey, it's all Landon's fault! All I did was make it interactive on the web with his words and clues! :biggrin: For $5 I will sell the answer key!

 

[greggas]

4 to go but have not made any progress in about 45 minute...everything is blurry...this was fun...learned a lot...

will the solution be posted at some point? I have one answer that I have made work about 5 different ways but never the right answer and it is driving me crazy

I will post my "CORRECT" answers at the end. I have been pressured into giving a hint, since it is my contest, I guess I can do that right?:biggrin:

Yes folks, I admitted that I caved in to peer pressure!

Use the entry form. It works just fine on my end with Firefox, IE8, and Chrome. I did make a minor adjustment so it should work properly. Let me know if it does not.

After I buy the splint for my brain that I broke on this, I don't have $5.
