Subject: Holiday Net Stumpers Contest
The questions to the Holiday Net Stumpers Contest are posted below. The
first to post a complete set of correct answers--or the first to submit the
best set of answers wins a token $25 prize and recognition as the top
searcher of the month. Full credit requires not only the answers, but a
description of where it was found and what strategy was used to find it. In
the past few contests, the first entries have not been the winners. Take
time to give a correct and well-documented solution and you have a good
chance of winning.
The answers should be posted on the contest web form at
http://www.delphi.com/navnet/netstumpers/ to receive credit. It is
accessible to Lynx as well as graphical browsers. If you cannot use a
graphical browser or a recent version of Lynx, send the answers directly to
me.
