Ramki Krishnan hosted last week and here’s his summary of the results.
We had 28 entries and 30 people voting for the contest. Thanks to Bhalchandra Pasupathy, Melissa McSeismal, Ratna Rao who voted though they had not set clues.
A note to new participants:
1) If you have set a clue, you MUST vote (and of course not vote for your own clue). Points will be deducted to setters who do not follow this rule.
2) Please use the same name while submitting your clue and voting, so that it is easier to do the check above.
