    Foul!

    Dick, is that a yellow or red card? Joint submission Alan and Bill!

    Next you know Dick some fellows in Singapore will claim "reserve bench support" from out of The Netherlands and submit a winning bid!

    Great post - and we will all learn from it when the results / details are released.

    Lol. Multiple brains work only in theroy. If you have a multiplier effect, .5 brain times .5 brain equals only a .25 brain at work. I suspect my contribution could have some serious miscalculation.

    LOL! Too funny!
    Not to worry Mark. Even with two of them working on it, they did not get a perfect score. And when you divide their score by two.... well, it is beyond my ability to do the math. I will have to find someone to help me.

    Great Contest! But, not easy for me. I probably know 5 out of 10.

    The difference is very clear. However, it would not be fair to reveal the difference before the end of the contest.

    Nothing to be afraid of guys! Very few know them all. Heck, I got one wrong and they're MY pictures! By all means get your guesses in!

    I've put aside my fear of being embarrassed by the many experts here and have taken the dive. So here's a photo of the back of my VC AT.
