lol, well, looks like we may have to call this one a draw. Never saw that coming. I'm not going to do that yet, someone must be out there somemwhere. Oh well, back to work for me.

I'd say, give it to Scooby, he got it. (I have no idea why he chose to mangle the order!)

I don't know why I did that. Sorry everybody. I didn't mean to taint the game. I should have just never even guessed.

You call it rikcando, you're the game master. Nobody seems to want the tainted victory, and I don't blame them. I don't think anybody's going be happy unless you do default it to me now. Or maybe you can roll the top prize into your next contest? Either way, I still think weavus should at least get the second place prize.

I hope svslav starts his game soon. I want to put this one behind me and get back to having fun!

Good job guys and gals...thanks for helping Caytee.

Sorry about my lack of help this weekend because of my mis-recording error.

Rikcando, I liked this format. As I suspected, this game took a lot more guesses. It is not just a game of chance and permutations. As an extreme example, if there were 100,000 currencies and only two in the solution, the number permutations would pale in comparison to the games already played. But, on average, the number of guesses required to figure it out would be crazy high (and the game wouldn't be any fun).

Ok, it is now well past 12 hours since the winng key was released and no-one has stepped up to the plate to hit it out of the park. Here is what we are going to do in order to bring this game to a close.

I am officailly calling this game a draw

Everyone who has entered at least one guess during the running of this contest and sends me their mailing address within 48 hours of this posting will receive a prize equal to that of the second place prize listed on page 1 and shown on page 3.

Thank you all for playing, and I hope to see you all in the next round.

Rick

PM sent for address info

but once again, thank you rikcando.

It is so funny how this ended. I guess if I had paid attention to the number of people who were playing I would have figured out that I could have waited until this morning but I was really thinking someone would get it over night.

Just for the record this was the correct sequence - right?

FJD PGK BIF CVE KZT SOS

I don't have all of my notes with me this morning but this is what I remember from memory.

And I would like to know (but you don't have to tell us) was there any rhyme or reason for your currency selection. I will admit I took this to some extremes as I tried to figure out the last currency - looking at all kinds of crazy relationships - which is why my wife thought I was nuts.

Yes weavus, your memory is excellent. Either that or both of ours has the same failure as I did not go back and look it up.

Ahh, you should have gotten her more involved and you might have had a sporting chance. You see, my wife is the one who picked them.
