All entries "postmarked" before noon ET of the contest closing day will be placed in a hat(electronic hat, actually) and two winners selected. Winners will be the first two entries selected at random that are valid and have the correct answer to the contest question. The winners will be announced on contest closing day at 8 P.M. ET (or thereabouts as the TriviaMeister's schedule permits:wink

much harder

Wow those look much harder than last time we did the word unscramble

dntrost · Feb 18, 2009

I hope I got all the letter right!!!!!!
Not that it matters the TriviaMeister is always right (rule number 2)

polarbear1 · Feb 18, 2009

I'm thinking your 3rd one from the bottom is a typo -- one of the "o"s should be an "a" ? Or my reference made a spelling error ?

polarbear1 · Feb 18, 2009

I maybe wrong but it looks like your missing an "a" in that last one ?

bad · Feb 18, 2009

Dion, you're an evil, evil man ;-)
I spent minimun 6 hours solving Monday's puzzle. Fortunatelly up here in Alberta Monday was a Stat. holiday. Today I don't think I'll have enough time to solve the problem. Oh well.

Russianwolf · Feb 18, 2009

oohhhhhh!!! thats not fair...........

Russianwolf · Feb 18, 2009

I got the first one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, i think it's one A short in the first word.

bobskio2003 · Feb 18, 2009

I think these were easier than the other day although Russian wolf was definitely a help. Thanks.

THarvey · Feb 18, 2009

I agree.

I think an A is missing from the last one.

I also think the third one from the end has one O too many and is missing an A in the first word.

dntrost · Feb 18, 2009

You are right last one is missing an A. But I am traveling and can't fix it from my crack berry. I will fix it later this just makes it harder!

dntrost · Feb 18, 2009

Bear-31 · Feb 18, 2009

Those were pretty difficult. A lot harder than the first set. I agree that the third one from the end should have an "a" instead of an "o"

dntrost · Feb 18, 2009

OK I fixed the last one it should be Nziilarba pppree
Fixed the third one from bottom that one was not my fault as I copied it straight from a post offering it for sale! You guys selling wood learn hwo to spellll

Dion,

I already sent my answers.

I added an A to the last answer, based on your previous post.

I spelled the third from the end using the letters you provided, the put the correct spelling in parentheses.

Could you look at my email? Is it acceptable or do I need to change and resend?

Thanks,

Tim

dntrost · Feb 18, 2009

Everyone who has submitted answers found my mistakes and answered correctly so no need to resend....SORRY!!!!!:beat-up:

Skye · Feb 18, 2009

I sent mine in and left the A out. I basically spelled the right word, just left the A out. Oddly enough, if you search for it like I spelled it, there is a wood related item with that alternate spelling.

Russianwolf · Feb 18, 2009

have fun reading mine Dion.

I've avoid drinking anything while you do.:biggrin:

jlg2x · Feb 18, 2009

dntrost · Feb 18, 2009

Boy based on responses so far I think today will have the fewest answers of any of my days...I have less than 30 replies so far
DID I STUMP YA!!!!!

USAFVET98 · Feb 18, 2009

That's the last one I got too, Brother. I spent more time on it than I did on all the other words combined.

Cheers!

dntrost · Feb 18, 2009

Bear-31 · Feb 18, 2009

That was the hardest one for me also...went through all the blanks for sale pages, tried a couple Wood ID sites, even tried the anagram sites and they didn't have a clue. Finally figured it out with my vast knowledge of turning materials...HAHA!

mick · Feb 18, 2009

Lol....got all but three of em right away...even with the missing letters but would you believe that #6 had me stumped until 10 minutes ago!

bananajeep · Feb 18, 2009

Dion, can you confirm you got my response. I've had my emails returned with the 747 in front of the email address. Removed the 747 for this one. Thanks.

These were much harder than the last lot. God Job

bruce119 · Feb 18, 2009

Well guess this is one I am not going to get. I just ran out of time. I don't have all day to sit on the computer. I got some real work to do.

dntrost · Feb 18, 2009

WAH WAH WAH!!!!

Nope

maxwell_smart007 · Feb 18, 2009

Of the 30, how many are correct?

dntrost · Feb 18, 2009

all of them!
Oh except one and he was not even close made a mockery out of it!!!

David M · Feb 18, 2009

just got home ... email sent 31 and counting

philb · Feb 18, 2009

32 now!

dntrost · Feb 18, 2009

Confession to make... Someone asked for help on one of the names and I gave him the answer. I also sent it to one of the guys that I have been bantering with during my days as TriviaMeister (who had already sent in the answers). This person was very offended by the fact that I sent out an answer and I now understand it was wrong. I am very sorry
So to even the score the answer to Leleopm gbbanui is Pomelle Bubinga

Again I am very sorry!

GaryMadore · Feb 18, 2009

Way to "man-up" Dion. I, for one, appreciate the honesty.

Cheers!

Gary
