Richard won game 2 and John beat Stuart in game 1. No player got the same placing twice. Can you determine who finished where in each game? your answer should be in the form of a table.

I thought I lost it when I posted instead of PM'd - I didn't get back on to see the post about the pm until I'd already posted my answers....

...um, did that make sense? It did in my head - but not so much on the screen...:confused:

They are! I gave her a tub of dark chocolate covered almonds with sea salt at the regional. And I gave JAE a tub of dark chocolate covered ginger. mmm....

Ohhhh, they are the most delicious dark chocolate covered almonds with sea salt....Ann brought them to me at our Regional Conference - saved me from total starvation that morning, but I had to eat them using subterfuge, because I didn't want to share them with my starving tablemates.:o

I firmly believe in a room full of hungry women, if someone has chocolate, it's every woman for herself!

Never had either but the ginger sounds interesting...


It HAS to be dark chocolate though...milk chocolate just doesn't cut it for me...



...or and none of this Hershey's Dark Chocolate crap...YUK! - Need REAL stuff!

They were even more delicious when you popped 2 almonds and 1 ginger in your mouth at the same time! What a perfect melding of flavors! mmmmmm......

Who would have thought within 30 minutes we have TOTALLY hijacked Greg's contest and turned it into chocolate...he's probably reading this and scratching his head thinking, "women, I'll never get them..."

Aw, come on! We can turn any thread into chocolate! I'm just sitting on my hands to keep from making a "chocolate on nuts" comment that's a little racy in another thread. (And it's in response to Becky, too.)

Ugh-- I really need to go do something today. I'm trapped at home (DH has my car while his is in the shop), so I've been using that as an excuse for not accomplishing anything.

What about the pimp car with the porthole windows, wasn't that your hubs car Ann? Maybe I have people mixed up. :D
chefann

That's his car, but it's one of his "play" cars, not his daily driver. And since I'm home during the day now (and obviously don't need to leave for anything), he's been using my car to go to and from work.
