The Resutls

The kindness meter is going wild! To date twenty-six people have performed sixty acts of kindness for my birthday. We are on the downside to get to one hundred by midnight Sunday June 21. You will be proud of me too, I didn't count it as an act of kindness when I told a man that he had a really nice car but should probably take it back to the dealer to get a turn signal installed!

Nobody got 25 of 25 on the contest on the first go around. Five people got 24 of 25, one 23 of 25, and one 21 of 25. However, remember the rules allowed you to submit as many entries as you wanted by the deadline of 7 AM this morning. Connie, Dona, DR, Kaye, Mary, Mary Z, and Pat all tied with perfect entries. Sometime this morning my Mom will draw TWO winners. The first winner drawn will get the the first choice of prizes, the second winner the second choice. Rather than put your names on a piece of paper and put them in a hat I am going to use Scrabble playing pieces to represent the first place finishers. The problem with using paper is it is almost impossible to get all the paper the same size and the larger ones have a better chance of being drawn. The following Scrabble pieces will be used: C = Connie, D = Dona, R = DR, K = Kaye, M = Mary, Z = Mary Z, and P = Pat. The winners will be announced between 2 PM Pacific Daylight Time today and 8 PM Pacific Daylight Time.

While people struggled a lot with number 18, the most often missed question were number 14 followed closely number 22. The most often mistake was making the questions to hard by doing Google research when all you had to do was to look at the names!

Hey I told somebody to get a turn signal installed today too! Gee too bad you are not counting those as that would have been 2 acts you could have added to your list!

Hi Dona

LOL re the telling a person to get a turn signal installed! My pseudo sister!

You wouild be surprised how little time the contest did take. And it was a lot of fun for me. My guess is that it took more time for everyone to look up the answers than it did for me to do the questions!!!
