Congratulations to Jim Kramer who enters the JG Quiz Hall of Fame!
Jim had the closest to correct solution plus threw in a little smokeblowing in case of a tie. Thanks to the many folks who responded(and endured the two typos with humor). Sorry, no recounts or attempts to discern the will of the people. This seemed to be an appropriate level of difficulty. Thanks to a very nice turnout, I'll try to come up with another one within a few months and up the prize fund a little bit. Honorable mention goes to Michael Turniansky who submitted no less than 37 partial solutions and who might have won had he not fallen for the trick on number 8.
