Great, Now start planning next months Tour de Trivia. :theclap:

[PenguinHunter]

Heh, so the responsibility falls on you for the next one. I'm not sure if you actually won. . .

I was going to suggest making this an every second month thing rather than every month. Just so that people have a bit more procrastination time.

(I'll leave the left-over questions for anyone who still wants to try them. . . if no one does in a day or so, I'll post the answers.)

[PenguinHunter]

u4: upper egypt

Nope

[PenguinHunter]

F5, N5, P3, S3, V4, U4, W1, W5, Z4 still up, so that's about 420 points

[Ferrus]

Can CJ nab second place?

[PenguinHunter]

But if he does, then it's his responsibility if you drop the ball like it's October 09 (http://forums.intpcentral.com/showthread.php?38390-October-Trivia-Contest-NOW&p=1243751&viewfull=1#post1243751).

Ha. That was your favorite question, wasn't it? It bloody well should be.

Alright, I guess that's a wrap. I extend a hearty congratulations to Ferrus and request that someone with modly powers grant him a fabulously coloured user name. Maybe fuschia or a royal purple. I look forward to September or thereabouts.

Thanks to everyone for participating. I added spoiler tagged answers for the five remaining questions.

[Hermione]

Celadon for the Ferrus user name. Definitely zen green. Brilliant photographic memory of facts, that one. Professional google search skills, also. hah.

PH you really gave a great show for the Trivia contest. Well done for sure. Technically, the way it was all set up was superb. Excellent.

[stuck]

It was a good balance of immediate gratification and long term research slogging. Good work!

I'd also like to take the opportunity to wheel out my last minute e-peen one more time, just for the sake of being a total jurkface.

:==D (kinda spent)

[C.J.Woolf]

Thanks, PH. It was a challenging quiz.
