Bonus Riddle Comin’ Right Up

And … WE’RE OFF!

After many warnings (and a well-placed threat or two), Tom and I are ready with another bonus riddle. YAY! You’ll have one more chance to get in on the action Saturday the 11th. We’ll post the bonus riddle Wednesday, February 11th. The prize this time is an amazing book by Scott Hubbard, Exploring Mars.

Exploring Mars encompasses the Odyssey Mission, the rovers, the Reconnaissance Mission, Phoenix, and the upcoming Mars Science Labs.

Here are the people who can email their three guesses to Tom or me: Adrianus V, Dwight, Roger, Rob, Alex, Patrick, Kristian, Hugo, the Gregster, Andy, Gary, George, Claudia, Suzanne, Jeff Greene, Jon, and Jerry. I’ll add one more name after Saturday the 11th.

Since it’s been a while, let’s run through The Riddle Rules:

• Guesses on the bonus riddle will be by email to Tom or Marian.
• You will have 24 hours to submit your guesses; from noon CDT Wednesday, February 15th, until noon CDT Thursday the 16th.
• You get three guesses.
• Comments will be closed on the bonus riddle until after the submission deadline.
• The winner will be the first person to submit the correct answer. If nobody solves the riddle by noon CDT July 5th, it will be opened for everybody to give it a shot.
• Tom will have the final say in any controversy.

Of course, since this is a riddle post, it deserves …
wait a minute … is that it?
