We had 13 entries for Puzzle #5, but none of them had the right answer, so I will open up a second chance for you to win one of the individual prizes for this contest.
BE SURE TO READ THESE RULES CAREFULLY!
1. Anyone may participate in this second chance contest, including those 13 people who have already submitted an entry by email.
Yes, I realize that those people have a slight advantage over everyone else because they each know one wood that is not correct. However, that only seems fair, because they did go to the effort of entering the contest on the first go-round.
2. Post your guess in this thread. You may post ONLY ONE guess in ONE SINGLE post. If you make multiple posts, only your first one will count. If you make multiple guesses in a single post, your entry will not be accepted.
3. Everyone who gets the right answer will earn 1 point toward the overall prize total and if there are multiple correct answers, those people will be entered into a random draw for the individual prizes for this puzzle.
4. If you have already won an individual puzzle prize, you cannot win one of the prizes for this puzzle, but you can still earn 1 point toward the overall prize total.
5. I ask the 13 people who have already emailed an entry to please not reveal what your incorrect guess was. Your second chance guess will be disqualified if you do.
6. This second chance opportunity will stay open until sometime Sunday afternoon on Feb 26. Please try to get your answers in by 3:00 PM CST on Sunday - I will close the contest as soon after 3PM as I can get to it.
7. If no one wins either or both of the prizes for this contest, they will be returned to the BASH Prize Pool for reallocation by the BASH Manager.
SO, Here We Go.......
Your challenge for this puzzle is to identify the wood shown in the photos below. This is a root that my brother yanked out of the ground at his farm in Weesatche, TX.
It is one of the following 10 woods - which one do you think it is?
Mesquite
Huisache
Hills Weeping Fig
Eastern Red Cedar
Brasil
Hog Plum
Alabama Supplejack
Osage Orange
Yaupon
Sassafras
Banter is encouraged and may be posted in this thread, but no serious hints!
Good luck & have fun.
