I should also note that I can only ship the book within the continental US. Gold membership will be given if that is not the case.
 
So could I get gold membership till this Sunday only for the participation purpose?
I like solving questions, even if I am not in continental US.

On Sunday, you don't need to be gold to enter chat, so no, you don't need to be gold for this event.

Oooh and a quiz by Greg! Quizes are great fun, even if you do not plan to answer, they are great fun to watch, and you'll be surprised that you'll find yourself answering and maybe even winning!

hmmm... Maybe it is.

ps. Anyone know how to convert CST to PDT?

Perhaps, I should have asked a less loopty-loo question.

Reboot; "Why did Wisconsin forget to move their clocks ahead last week on March 8th?"

You asked how to convert CST to PDT... that website I link to does that for you.

It was not the right question.

You should put an announcement banner or something up tomorrow so people know when they login/visit.

It was great fun. I haven't laughed that much in quite a while.

Thank you!

Actually, minimario posted the correct answer at 12:19, gracy repeated his answer at 12:22. Due to the error, both will get a point.

Correction, gracy did not win, it was minimario. minimario posted the correct answer at 12:19, gracy repeated his answer at 12:22.
I can not check that chat to find out who had given the answer first,but I Think minimario had spelled berkelium wrongly.

No, he had spelled it correctly, there was another member that had misspelled it with an h.
I'll tell you what, to be fair to you since Greg listed you, I'll give you both the point. :smile:
