Hey, I didn't cop your guess, per se, I just hopped on board with rarest response - I figured that, if by some miracle it turned out to be the right answer, my odds of winning the coin-toss would be improved.

Genius, n'est ce pas?

heh heh

Welcome aboard Marc, but if "we" are right and the number generator shines on me again I will not be able to share the blanks with everyone this time because there are too many good answers. But maybe I'll send ya one of the cat poo blanks instead ;)

Cheers!

WELL NOT LONG NOW AND ALL WILL BE REVEALED............

dont bother with the bafters or the oscars or tonys or whatever if Gary madore wins this again we will call all other wood ID quiz's on the IAP the

"GARYS"

I will use the same random number generator as before in the presence of Obama , the encumbant Pope and and anyone else I can pull off the street to see that its fair. this will take place tomorrow morning before I go out on saturday morning.
as of now there is still time to change your mind. just a question are you sure you are correct and just not copied everyone else:confused:
 
AND THE WINNER IS!

WooHOO Rob!

I'm glad you won: If the RNG* pointed to me again, I expected a bunch of pissed-off turners to be knocking at my door.... heh

Thanks a BILLION to Dave and Ed for making this excellent contest possible. It was a LOT of fun.

Cheers!

First off, Congratulations! to Rob for breaking through the Madore Dominance!!:biggrin::biggrin:

I have all of the blanks and was waiting to mail them to see if they all just went to Gary. :eek: Gary, Phil and Rob, I had planned to get them in the mail today, but as usual around here I was outvoted 1 to 1. Nancy has me chored out! I will do my best to get them mailed out on Monday.
 
Wait, let me guess. I can't be to late. Or can I!!!

Rewarewa/New Zealand Honeysuckle.

Knightia excelsa

Oh well, congrats Rob!

It was much easier to lay back and steal someone else's guess. If you're gonna lose it's better to do it sitting back with a single malt and a good book!

I want to thank Dave for supplying the blanks and clues and for all those that made this contest really interesting. I can't promise anything now but next year, if no one else wants to supply the blanks and clues I might be willing to give it a whirl. Thanks again, Bob I.
