There will be no more rigged contest talk on this thread or I'll decide the winner right now by who sends me the most cash in the next 20 minutes.

KIDDING PEOPLE   

I'll give you a half hour. ;D

[yukon cornelius]

I will give you all I have in my pocket right now. That could be as much as 3-4 oz of cedar sawdust. Just kidding I'm in my Christmas union suit. You don't want anything out of the pocket of this.

[Jeff]

One last clue, and this is significant. A few posts back I said, "for the Four Hundredth and Fourteenth Time!

this number, 414 is significant.  THINK!

You have 3 hours until the change to get an entry in closes. Good luck.

This clue is a give away.  8)

12 minutes left. It's not that complicated. I can't stress that enough. Think, or maybe don't think and you will get the answer. You still have time.

You're killing me. 

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

If everyone had watched the "minute / second" counter on the contest podcast....

 

when the time got to 4:14....Jeff gave the answer.

One of his hints were "414".

Also in his last hint, he said it is NOT THAT COMPLICATED

3 words 

So you should have used the address:

forestryforum.com/board/index.php?action=notthatcomplicated.....
and you would have got in. 

[Ljohnsaw]

No, actually he said:

12 minutes left. It's not that complicated. I can't stress that enough. Think, or maybe don't think and you will get the answer. You still have time.

If you want to be technical about it.  In the podcast, he said "the answer is not that complicated."

Sorry, I have a thing about "it is" and "its" :  Though I never know when it is its or it's.

[isawlogs]

  Jeff, Tammy and Tamiam this was a whole lot of fun and thank you for the contest.  May all y'all have a Joyeux Noel !!!  Merry Christmas Guys      ( Hey its the French in me, ladies need kissin')  ;D

[Jeff]

Nope, only once. But I absolutely tell them what the solution is. It's not that complicated. Anyone can do it!

I gave the answer plain as day above, but use the magician's trick of misdirection by following immediately with Anyone can do it!

it's is a contraction of it is.  "Its" is a possessive, and it is proper to use it without the apostrophe as a possessive.  If it is a contraction, it needs the apostrophe.

I have an issue with then and than, and many times use the wrong word when I know which one it should be.

...and it gets worse depending on the amount of Egg Nog.  ;D

[Jeff]

I need to go sleep some of mine off cause I got egg nog egg nodd.
