You have until NOON CST on Fri, Feb 17 so get your guesses in for this puzzle.

Get 3 or 4 right and you will earn one point toward the overall puzzle prize total; get all 5 right and you will earn two points. Everyone earning at least one point will go into a random draw for the two prizes available for this particular puzzle.

Note: you can win only one individual puzzle prize, but don't let that stop you if you have already won a prize because you can still win one of the grand prizes even if you win an individual prize.

Good luck & have fun.

Now make sure you read Edgar`s instructions carefully , before answering guys . Note that you MUST use Puzzle 2 for your subject and give your answers for Puzzle 1 .

Getting 3 right should be doable . To get 4 right you will have to determine which of the 5 correct answers is incorrect , and substitute Hill`s weeping fig , or my favourite Australian wood , Lilly Pilly , or whatever strikes your fancy .

Is it even possible to only get 4 out of 5 correct? If you get 4 of them correct, wouldn't the 5th be correct by default?

Not in Edgar`s engineering world . He lacks some of a competent truck fixers skills , such as logical thinking . The procedure to follow is outlined in my post above . Clark`s sassafras suggestion also works .

[alankulwicki7]

Haha, no! Just a picture to help make things easier. Judging that I only got one right it didn't help
