Now that the first Almost Daily Puzzler contest is part of IAP history, it is time to announce the Master Puzzlers! Thirty five people attempted the final "Fill in the Blank" crossword puzzle but it proved to be too much for all but 10 members!
I would like to thank the follow prize donors for this contest:
And, without further adieu, the winners for the first Almost Daily Puzzler contest are:
Third Place:
smj1957 with a time of 4 hrs, 38 minutes

Wait just a minute, we have a bonus round winner on the final puzzle! Even though this person was not in the tie breaker since he was not tied for first, he still managed to finish faster than two of the three winners!

The Penguin wins a small flat rate box of Central Texas wood pen blanks from yours truly.
Congratulations to all the winners. It was a lot of fun for me to run this contest and I got lots of great feedback from folks that enjoyed it as well. Good times and good memories! Everyone who participated are winners in my book!!
