Why's that? There are plenty of rubbish "corrections" or "solutions" on here.

Not fair! I've been waiting with anticipation. I don't want to go through this surmising process again! :grumpy:

I know I've been full of lies lately, but I have to delay this yet again. This time a full week. I'l be presenting the awards Friday the 21st. Don't worry, it will be worth it! Looks like there are a few surprise winners too!

But the world is ending on the 21st!

I like surprise winners! :!)

You mean after the continents all subside into the oceans we get to find out. Cool. A sort of double whammy. Let's hope the smaller whammy comes first. PC's do not work well submerged in ocean water.

To be the end of the world it's got to be elephants flying (and landing) wherever they want.

They only fly because the penguins allow it!
