Conclusion and Seventh Grade Questions

As you may have noted, this is the conclusion of our trip. We are not home yet. We still have a 44 hour bus ride to get to Warsaw, but the bicycling portion is over for this year. We are already planning our 2006 leg of the journey...stay tuned.

It's time to find out the winner of the prize! Send all of the information to lewisclark.2005@gmail.com before August 1st. On a Word document, please include your name, the date of the question, a brief description of the question, and the answer(s). Attach this document to the email. If Microsoft Word is not available, this information can be directly copied and pasted into the email. On all answers, be as specific as possible. This may be used for tiebreakers if necessary. SpokeWrench will look at the answers and grade them. The winner will be announced on a blog soon after the entry deadline. The answers to all of the questions will also be given. The winner will be notified about instructions on receiving the prize. If anyone has any questions about the wording of the questions (before the deadline), they can be sent to the email address above. Of course, the answers to the questions will not be given.
