Ahh, nuts. My boss won't be happy. I didn't get any work done today working on this. So close. Back to my notes.

And thanks for holding this game , I love it.

My boss probably isn't too happy, either. This is our busy time right now! And you're welcome for the game, I enjoy it, too.

Your response to my guess makes my other permutation look correct. I hope I can stay up late enough tonight. If not, best of luck to everyone.

You're allowed a second guess, but you must be right or you can no longer play.

That is so tempting, but I just can't bring myself to take the chance of not being able to play anymore. I'll just take my chances and post my answer when I get up around 5am. {If I can sleep through the excitement.}

Is there a place here (link please if so) that has the rule, or even suggested conduct, for these contests. I can't seem to find any information.

Can anyone start a game?
Is there a min/max on prize value?
How do we get the winners address to ship the prize to?
Is it frowned on to limit the play to person within North America (unless persons outside wish to help with shipping costs)?

Thank you for any assistance.

I would say Yes, No, by PM, and up to you. I've wondered about having to ship a prize internationally. I guess I'll cross that bridge when/if it happens.

You may need to have 50 posts to post a contest. I know you have to have 50 to participate in one, but not sure about actually posting one (does not apply in your case, however).

4. no


To expand - as long as, of course, it is stated in the contest rules

I've sent prizes overseas. Postage isn't too bad, I just worry about it actually arriving!

Ok, thank you all. From Canada all overseas starts at about $8 so maybe I'll offer to share cost upon arrival. If they get it and like it they can send me a dollar or two. Yeah, that's what I'll do.

Of course I'll have to find something that might interest people. Do you think anyone would be interested in 2009 Canadian mint rolls of pennies? I've a few extra NFLD coins I've picked up as well, but the grades aren't the highest. I'm sure I can find something worth playing for.

Thanks again everyone.

I hope you're planning on hosting another Mastermind!

I think people are more interested in the contest than the prize. The prize is just bonus.

I like Canadian coinage, but don't run into much down here in Tampa. I've been the lucky recipient of some wonderful donations from my brothers and sisters up North, though. I think a roll of cents or some NFLD coins would be awesome!
