Yay me! Now what day would that be? I'm guessing Saturday, since that's the only day on the agenda when something is scheduled to happen at 3:30.

How come you have all the luck?

Anyway, I'll have to settle with beating Andy with my MOEstix, since I can't clap with them.

I, for one, intend on clapping my MOEstix as much as I feel like (outdoors, of course). I've always wondered what is was like to own and clap MOEstix and soon I will know! As if I wasn't excited enough as it is to attend nationals, now I get MOEstix! :ahh:

I think those of us that get our MOEStix in Atlanta should have a little get together at some point and do one last "Go MOE!" stick cheer...outdoors of course :p

Winner: Joseph Matt, Team 384

FINALLY! I guess I was the only one who submitted one that day. ;p
Also, I'll be picking my button up in the pits, since, well, we are pitted next to you this year. :D

Yes, that would be Saturday. Silly me for omitting that vital bit of information.

Also, Greg, as the Grand Prize Winner, you will receive one extra set of GizMOE buttons, each numbered #1 of 36.

Actually, this last week of the contest, we had a significant increase in the number of people submitting answers to the game, and you were not the only one who submitted an answer that day. Most of the answers submitted were correct, although I was really puzzled as to why everyone didn't get the correct answer on the last day. I thought that would be intuitively obvious.

Also, in case anyone was wondering, the correct answers each day were numbered from 1 to n, and a random number generator (on a TI-83) was used to pick the daily winner. To select the Grand Prize winner, I reverted to the old-fashioned method of writing each daily winner's name on a piece of paper, folding each piece of paper very small, putting them all into a hat, shaking them, and getting a disinterested party (my daughter) to pick the winner. I was as surprised as the rest of you that the winner came from the last week's daily winners.

Anyway, I hope everyone had fun playing the game.

If you're near the scoring table at the Galileo field this week, see if you can catch my attention. I'd love to meet you all!

I'll try to look for you Bill, but I have one question, can you put up all of the pictures with their answers and winners on the Where is Gizmoe page? I would like to see all the pictures since I missed some.

I'll have to ask our web gurus for that one. Give us a week or so, and I'll post again when they're up. They should have no problem changing it to display a picture given a date entered by the user.

I'm not sure how to coordinate it, but I was thinking that a good time to do this would be on the way from the Georgia Dome to the Olympic Centennial Park for the Wrap Party on Saturday afternoon. Anyone else have any ideas?

who should we look for in MOE's pits to obtain our "prizes".

I wore my MOE shirt, for the FIRST time, to the gym last week. It was definitely the brightest green in the whole place. And I got more than a few strange looks ;)

Brave man - wearing a MOE shirt to the gym! Having experience over the past five years with the same basic jersey, that probably got pretty hot also.

It's easy wearing the green when you are in a large group or at a FIRST event. It's much more difficult wearing it in "public."

Did you get the hang of the MOE Wobbly? It takes a bit of practice to get the proper *annoying* sound going well.

Congratulations again on your GRAND PRIZE! Enjoy.

Yeah the shirt's warm, but not too much so. It was a little scratchy though. I'm hoping it will soften up a little in the wash.

I think I got the hang of the Wobbly. I haven't had opportunity to use it much, though.
