The day has arrived!
Mila's 2009 Birthday Game!

I'm posting this year's game days early because there will be a total of 150 questions. Yep, that's right! You'll have to put on your 'thinking cap'. Date & Time will be a major factor in selecting the winner.

As most of you know, my yearly birthday contests' results in ending with ten winners. This year 2009, due to personal losses, in addition to making changes/additions in my home, funds were limited.

I thought of canceling all together but........it wouldn't have 'felt' like a birthday celebration without you 'my friends' on CCF, so I decided to go forward and run it anyway - instead of the yearly ten winners there will be only ONE [1] winner for this year. The prize will be something which would have been impossible to present to 10 winners.


Current members with 50 qualified post or more are eligible.

EMAIL SUBMISSIONS ONLY.

Please note the Questions and Answers were found while doing research, which began last year, for this year's birthday game. The correct answer for each question will be based on what I found during this research whether it is right or wrong...in your opinion.

What does the winner win? It's something special.........well, at least I think so. Which is why I made it a 150 challenge question contest. Some questions you may know the answers, while others you may have to do some research.
As for what is the prize - I'll leave it up to the winner to divulge what he/she won.

For those in a different Time Zone, deadlines will be according to Forum Time.

Request must be made via E-Mail. Click here to send your request.
**************************************************************************************************************************************************

To begin...All who qualify are to PM their request, before 11:59pm Aug 16th (before Aug 17th rolls in) and must be sent through the forum's PM/E-Mail system & posted here "Request sent" (in case for some reason it gets lost along the way). I will reply to your email and forward the questions for the contest.
The sooner I received your request, the sooner you can get started.

Once you are satisfied with your answers, you are to send back to me the question & answer part of the message only - anytime before the deadline 11:59pm Sept 2nd Forum Time (before Sept 3rd rolls in). Please omit the rest of the email message.


Let's assume....by the highest number correctly answered - 50 players answered ALL 150 questions correctly......in that case - (this is where the Date & Time will be important) the winner will be determined by the earliest Date/Time stamped your email was received with your answers.

**************************************************************************************************************************************************
This year Labor Day is Sept 7th.
There will be no announcements, no hints as to who won until sometime on Labor Day.
