Preliminary results! - A Meeting of Minds

**Cheryl** · Dec 21 2009, 04:41 PM

We're very near to being ready to announce the final results. Here's what I can tell you for now:

We had 17 participants with scores ranging from 99 to 77%, and will award prizes to the top two. We need to determine what the cut-off for the Wall of Fame will be, but most likely it'll be the same as last year, or 90% correct.

I'll be sending emails to everyone soon (by the end of tomorrow I suspect), to let you know your score and have the top two pick their prizes. Once they've picked I'll announce who they are.

Hurray!!! Any ties? I can't wait to see the scores!

unicorntig · Dec 21 2009, 07:10 PM

The wait is sooooo hard!!!

Can't wait to see the scores either!!

Samsara · Dec 21 2009, 08:19 PM

Oooh getting nervous again...

mmarkina · Dec 22 2009, 01:26 AM

Can't wait to see how i did!

Is it at all possible if you can list the questions people got wrong in the emails? or can we request that info after you send out the results?

**Cheryl** · Dec 22 2009, 09:46 AM

I have sent out emails to all participants now to let you know your score, and notify the winners and Wall of Fame placements.

There were a couple ties, but not among the top two entries.

I did this for those who made the Wall of Fame. If those who didn't score enough to rate the Wall would also like to know, they are welcome to send me an email to request the information.

mmarkina · Dec 22 2009, 04:49 PM

Thanks for sending out the results so soon, Cheryl.

Congrats all. And thanks again to all organizers of the quest.

Greenrider Tresa · Dec 24 2009, 02:00 AM

I think yahoo ate your mail, Cheryl.

**Cheryl** · Dec 24 2009, 07:15 AM

Well that was rude of it! It wasn't even automated email so it shouldn't have looked like spam. I'll send you a PM Tresa.

Greenrider Tresa · Dec 24 2009, 01:44 PM

Yeah, yahoo can be a royal pain at times. :P

**Cheryl** · Jan 11 2010, 08:28 AM

I will get the official results announced soon. I'd been waiting to hear from the grand prize winner, who finally checked in shortly after Christmas. And then I got busy and forgot about it.

Nina · Jan 11 2010, 02:55 PM

Cheryl, I hope that you have received my entry

**Cheryl** · Jan 11 2010, 03:57 PM

Yes, sorry I didn't send a confirmation, usually I do!

mmarkina · Mar 2 2010, 11:36 AM

Hey,

It's been a while since the quest. Can we find out who won it this year?

Thanks!

Christi · May 30 2010, 05:48 PM

Any updates on the winners and prizes? I'm eager to see how the competition went.

jube · May 31 2010, 12:16 AM

Well Cheryl may have delayed giving us the answer to that question because of having a baby this year but that's up to her.

I know I did better last year then this year

but at the time, I know my score on the Pern books would be better then the ones on the Freedom series.

mmarkina · Jun 7 2010, 07:43 PM

Congratulations on the new baby, Cheryl!

Golden Talisath · Jul 28 2010, 04:38 PM

So... did I miss it anywhere, but who are the winners? I know Cheryl is busy with little Fiona and the twins, but could it be possible that she posted it somewhere else, so I mist it?

DragonBuddy · Aug 12 2010, 03:21 PM

I'm looking forward to the next quest! Anybody know when it will be and which books it will cover?

mmarkina · Aug 16 2010, 11:25 PM

I don't mean to be bothersome, but I don't quite understand why Cheryl can't hand off the info from last year to someone who is in change of the quest this year. Can't they finish that up before this years quest?

Just confused and curious.

Cheryl, I hope that you have received my entry __________________ Nina The Rowan is my favourite! "The name rowan is believed to derive from the Norse runa - "a charm". It was often planted outside houses to ward off witches. On May Day a spray of rowan leaves was hung over doors to repel evil, and wells dressed with rowan to keep witches away. The rowan, or mountain ash, is found commonly in Scotland, sometimes clinging to a rock face."
