Forestry Forum 2020 Christmas Contest!

[Hilltop366]

Tip
I wrote down the first answer for each one then the last answer to enter when all were completed. This way I could keep track of which ones I completed and not have to redo them. Page refresh is your friend.

:christmas: :new_year:

Merry Christmas to All. 
It only took us 3 nights. Us because I finally had Cathy come and help me. 
Thanks everyone.

Anxious for the Christmas day drawing.  Thank you Jeff, Logrite, and other sponsors.

[Old Greenhorn]

Well I am glad to see the entries are slowly increasing. Just got a jolt when I realized the drawing is only 1 week away. Where do the year go? Oh yeah.....

[Jeff]

Time is drawing close!

[51cub]

I started off slow but got the idea eventually. I learned a couple things and had to remember back some of the things I knew I'd read on here before but couldn't remember where. My thanks to Jeff for another fun contest and to all the sponsors

[Jeff]

Added another prize! A semi-custom blanket made by @Wildflower .  The winner will get to choose from front and back materials displayed as well as have a name applied.

Here are the choices, and me with my blanket! Yes, I got a blanket too!  So far she has made 17 Christmas blankets this year.

I love it. Yes indeed I use a small blanket when I relax in the easy chair. Love the look on your Shepherds face

[mad murdock]

16 entries so far. I guess I should have alllowed mail in entries.

I need the address to election HQ so I can send in my absentee and my dead relatives ballots! I have a few more quizzes to go, still noodling!

[tylerltr450]

Great job this year. Much harder than last enjoyed the challenge and the refresh button!

[thecfarm]

That is nice of Wildflower. Thank you.

Anyone else dare to give the contest a try?  ;D

[Old Greenhorn]

I am certain there are many out there that are getting close to finishing, but this one takes a fair amount of time, especially if you don't make some notes along the way. One of the reasons I liked it. If you could do it in a half hour, there wouldn't be much fun in that. But having said that, this isn't one you can wait until the last minute on and just 'get it done'. It will take time whether you like it or not. ;D
 Redundancy, persistence, note taking, and quick use of the refresh key are the secrets here. I love a challenge, and this was surely one of those.

[Jeff]

I do wish more people would participate but it really doesn't matter. As much time as it takes to succeed in getting in, you can multiply that several times on the time to put it together. For me at this point n my life, putting a challenging contest together is a personal challenge that gets more difficult each year. I do look at it a bit different than I used to. I look at it more now as my way of a gift to those that enjoy it, which I do really love to see.

[btulloh]

I get that, Jeff, and I appreciate your effort.  I'm almost done and hope to finish this morning and I'm enjoying the challenge.  My big problem has been the annoying things going on that have occupied my time and kept me from working on it.  It requires a bit of concentration and commitment to the process, and I can't seem to go five minutes without something interrupting or taking me away from the important task of finishing the contest.  

Thanks for putting this together again this year and giving us an entertaining and challenging contest!

[btulloh]

Well I finally got a chance to finish up this evening and I'm INNNN!  Wow, this was a tough contest this year.  Made me think, remember, take notes and all those annoying things.  I learned some new stuff too - - mainly that I like the contests that ARE LITTLE EASIER than this one!   :D :D

Thanks Jeff and Tammy and all the sponsors and donors of the prizes. 

Merry Christmas everybody.  And, ty the way  :new_year:

[Old Greenhorn]

Well the odds just went down.  :D ;D
 Good luck to everyone still working on it, you will get there if you don't give up. Lets see how long you can make my odds! Although in a 50/50 toss up I have about an 80% chance of losing because that is how my luck goes. As I said earlier, the prize for me was the fun of doing the contest and getting it done. Of course, watching the drawing video is also fun. 

[btulloh]

For anyone still working on the contest or yet to start - KEEP AT IT!  Yer gitten there.

". . . endeavor to persevere"

[thecfarm]

I enjoyed it. Once I got it figured out ;), it was easy to solve. Thank you for another great year.

[WDH]

This one was challenging but a lot of fun.  I really enjoyed it.  I always look forward to the diabolical creative things that Jeff can think up  ;D.  

[LIL]

 :D Finally got myself entered, I did complete it but threw away the answers, so just had to do it again, you'd think it would have been easy the 2nd time around    Love these competitions every year!!

Merry Christmas Forestry Forum Family  :christmas:

I get anywhere from 6 to 8 sets of question? Must be that Chrome doesn't like to play along.

[btulloh]

There's five sets. Chrome is fine. You're just experiencing Jeff's diabolical nature I think.  Some of his popup messages make it seem like you're finishing a level, but you're not. Fooled me at first. When you make a correct answer and then get to the solution screen you've finished one set. You also get there when you give an incorrect answer which can be confusing at first. 

Keep working on it!

[thecfarm]

Some do not read my posts.

[Old Greenhorn]

I started in Chrome, wasn't working right, switched to edge and got through the whole thing in 3 short hours.  ;D
