[cool] [font "Comic Sans MS"][red][size 4]LEAKY IS THE WINNER...with a solid 10 points and the closest to the tiebreaker of 21. (He guessed 33)[/size][/red][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]Close behind was FB2, with a shaky 10...subject to some interpretation on #7. Since he guessed 139 on the tiebreaker, that was not an issue.[/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]Almost everyone who played got at least a 9. Aquaman, Curtisfish and Xman all got 9.5. I tried to be liberal in the interpretation for #7, but I hinted as broadly as I could...the answers were simply: speed & distance. [/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]Many of the other answers were subject to personal interpretation. I care not to get into a heavy debate here. This was all in fun, and hopefully I won't get any flaming PM's or emails. [/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]Honorable mention for creativity needs to go to IceFishingGod. I suspect he deliberately put himself out of contention...just to brag a little on past successful "fishing" trips. (he still got an 8.5)[/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]If you want to go back and review your answers, or anyone elses, here is the list of answers I submitted to BLM before we started the contest. (the game is officially over now. No edits beyond this time will count. Silly.)[/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]1. Round, U or V boats, Pontoons[/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]2. Swimming Fins[/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]3. Neoprene[/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]4. Float Tuber's "Distance" Cast[/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]5. E. All of the above.[/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]6. E. All of the above.[/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]7. Speed and Range (or distance). (sorry Xman, trolling speed just misses)[/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]8. B & H (arbitrary...right?)[/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]9. B (double deduction for all who missed it)[/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]10. E[/size][/#400040][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#400040][size 4]Thanks again to all who played. I will be happy to address any personal questions on tubing either by PM, or visit our float tubing board.[/size][/#400040][/font]
