OK kids, Happy New Year. Mrs. Cone has not found the cat recipe bookmark, so…
I think one could make the argument that MRsDNF technically won since what he predicted did indeed happen (post #34: “She will not find it before the draw date.”). On the other hand, you could argue that he didn’t guess a time inside the contest window and his guess should not count. To be fair, I wasn’t really clear about any rules, as this was all just spur of the moment.
So, I will have two winners unless there are serious objections. I doubt there will be, since I promised at the very beginning that this would not be a very exciting prize. So MrsDNF, you are winner one. As for the rest, I’ll list you fine folks in the order you posted guesses and then do the whole random number thing to determine winner two.
Thanks for thinking of my safety, Scaru. You’re a real pal!
And Scaru, sorry buddy, but winner two is…

So there you have it. If you two guys will PM me your addresses, I’ll send out the prizes. Try not to be disappointed!
Thanks all you guys for having fun with me even though it wasn’t quite as funny as we had all hoped for. Sorry about that, we’ll try to prank her again at some point down the road.
Wow, I sit here smiling that I won something. I just had to go and tell the better half that I won a competition about cones wife. Without even looking up the response was does she want to keep me. I hope the surprise prize is worth more than five dollars as that is what I paid Mrs cone not to find it. Congrats to Scheven_architect, thanks cone and all the entrants. Its been fun. Ps, what's a large picture of scaru worth on the open market?
Well, this will be of interest to only a very few, but here is the latest update. I decided to giveaway Olight I3s that I just goy from 4/7’s BOGO sale. Since both winners live a half a world away and shipping is very expensive, I offered the option of sending them the cash equivalent of the flashlight (around $13.50 b/c of the sale). Scheven took a gold I3 and MRsDNF chose the cash, but generously wanted it donated to Old-Lumen’s build fund.
I’m happy to report that as of today, O-L has some spending money ($15) and Scheven’s light should be about a third of the way (time wise, anyway) to his doorstep.
