Alright Puzzle Enthusiasts, here is our first puzzle for the 2024 Bash Puzzle Contests. There will be a total of about 10 puzzles during the month, so be sure to enter as many as possible to increase your chances of winning a prize.
This being our 20th anniversary, I thought that I would start out with a simple trivia question:
Who are the two IAP members who founded this organization?
Either their real names or their IAP user names will be accepted.
Here are the rules:
1. General IAP Contest rules and the General BASH Puzzle rules apply
2. You must submit your entry using the official puzzle entry form: https://www.penturners.org/form/puzzle-contest.12/select
3. One entry per person and one set of answers per entry. Your entry must contain your real name, the puzzle number, and your guess.
4. Each correct answer will earn 1 point toward the overall Puzzle Prize total
5. Banter is expected and encouraged, but DO NOT post any hints or real guesses in this thread.
6. This contest will close at noon Central Time on Saturday Feb 10
8. In addition to earning a point toward the grand prizes, each correct entry will also be entered into a drawing for one or more individual puzzle prizes
9. The IAP founders are eligible to enter.
HINTS:
1. The founders have been IAP members for 20 years.
2. I'm old as dirt, but I am not one of them.
NOTE: Even if you have no idea who the founders might be, send in an entry anyway. At the end of the puzzle contests, there will be a drawing from all entrants who didn't earn a single point in any contest. Bottom line is, you can't win anything if you don't enter.
Good luck, have fun, and let me know if you have any questions
