CP RARE ENTRIES CONTEST RESULTS!

Random answers to random questions:

Would I have given credit for "Cedar Point" as an answer to the first question? I don't know. I likely would have, but I wouldn't have liked it. I thought I had covered all loopholes in most of these questions, but apparently, I didn't.

For the record, I did notice that anomaly on Benton Ridge and one other town (that I can't remember off the top of my head).

And I credited any answer that was between 100.0 and 101.0 miles, inclusive, and in either direction, so if it came up exactly those mileages, they were considered to be correct.

Thanks to both Duane for making the contest and to those who praised me for winning. I can't really say that I used any specific strategy so I'll just say that I got lucky. I definately had fun though.

Darn, should have gone with Illinois. I thought because Cedar Point, NC had a zip code it was cool. Ah well.

And too bad I prefer pepsi to coke.

I was awfully proud though that I was only one of two people who picked GTTP for the website.

I was thinking about GTTP! Well 4th is pretty good for my first time. You notice the first 4 had Coke as the soda.

All things considered I didn't do that bad with 21st place. But when I looked at the answeres I noticed that I was the last person who had no questions wrong, yet I still placed after Red Garted Rob who didn't answer one question; thats just sad. Of course giving the most used answers for most of the questions didn't help me at all.

But anyways, as for my stratagy with #10. All I did was pick route 4 and follow it. Why route 4, well it leads straight from the center of town and follows a pretty straight route for quite a long ways. So I just picked a town that looked about right and then worked my way in the direction that I had to go until I found a town that fit the criteria.

Cedar Point Googlism

Mozilla may have taken two years to reach v1.0, but it is more stable and secure than IE will ever be.

It's ok...

As for #10... I simply entered the adress into the site and my former address in Toledo as the destination. Then worked my way from there.. Which resulted in me heading west..

VertiGo Rides - 82

I was just looking for a place somewhere in Southeast Michigan... along US-23.. Ended up finding Sand Creek, but it was 101.0 I believe, so I wasn't sure if that'd work or not.. so I kept moving around and finally ended up at Fayette, OH

Edit: and what do you mean the FCC doesn't keep their site up to date? ;)

Well, I am comforted in knowing I still suck at this game. As is the case with the Indians, there is always next year.

Not that I really care, but just for piece of mind, I believe my answer for number 10 was correct. Unionville, OH 100.15 miles, I assuming you checked the wrong Unionvile (it is near Ashtabula).

I like my placement better from last seasons contest. Second to tewnty-second is just wrong. Still a fun game though!:)

There is indeed a Unionville, OH that Mapquest shows as being 100.15 miles from One Cedar Point Drive.

However, the question read:

10. Give the name of a town, that when directions are entered into yahoo! maps, is between 100.0 and 101.0 miles from One Cedar Point Drive, Sandusky Ohio.

The Unionville near Marietta is the only one that comes up on Yahoo! maps.

Well dont I feel dumb. :)

Wow, 10th place ain't too bad at all. I knew I should have picked Hersheypark over Silverwood. Oh well. I knew that Coke/Pepsi question was a toss-up, or a way to even out the scores ;)

Congrats to Scott Cameron, and an unofficial congrats to Red Garter Rob.
