T-minus One Week, re: [CONTEST] 2nd One-Off Common Answers Contest




There's one week left in the 2nd One-Off Common Answers Contest.
So far, I've received slates from

 Matthew Russotto
 Edgar V. Camacho
 David Greenlees
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Mark Brader
 Chuck Grant
 Joshua Kreitzer
 Dave Gates        *
 Kevin Stone       *
 David Brain

 * - should have been confirmed by e-mail

Anyway, anyone else who wants to enter (or anyone who *did*
enter, but doesn't see his name on this list), send your
slate to this address: ajo+CommonAnswers2 at andrew . cmu . edu.
