Congrats Chris, or should I say "Puzzle Meister"! Thanks to all who contributed prizes, and especially thanks to Edgar for running the whole show! Congrats to the rest of the winners as well. I guess this is my stop to exit the "Losers Train"! (now I need to go buy some kits to go with all those blanks that I won from the Super Bowl Pool :banana::banana::banana:)

Congratulations to all you lucky folks and thanks to all the donors who made these prizes possible.

Here is how I conducted the drawings for these prizes:
1. I drew winners for the two individual prizes in order of the number of eligible entrants per contest. Puzzle 5 only had 5 people eligible for a prize, so I drew those two winners first. I then proceed on through all the contests and finally got to Puzzle #2 which had 35 eligible participants.
2. Once I finished those drawings, I then had a list of 18 individual prize winners in the order that they were selected from the 9 puzzles.
3. The prizes available for the individual contests were listed in the order shown in this post. I used random.org to reorder the 18 winners and the result is the winner-prize matchups that you see in this post.

Thanks for playing
Edgar

Congratulations!
 
Did I see my name up there twice? Wow, that's awesome!

Thanks for running the contest, Edgar! It was a fun (and challenging) time!

And thanks to all the sponsors and those who donated prizes for the 2018 Puzzle Contest!
 
2018 BASH PUZZLES - ONE FINAL PRIZE

A total of 55 people entered at least one puzzle this year. Eight people did not earn a single point, so they were not eligible for any of the individual puzzle prizes.

However, for being such good sports and just making an effort to enter one or more of the puzzle contests, I held a special drawing for that group of 8 people for one last prize.

That lucky person is:

Jerry Linton (Seer)



Congratulations, Jerry...

Edgar,
Thank you for doing so much on these puzzles. I wish I had more time to play in them this year. The little I did was fun. Thanks for the prize and congrats to all the winners!
 
Thanks to Edgar for your work and time on the contest, enjoyed it much. Not to mention learning about Mongoose wood!

Special thanks to WoodNWhimsies for the gc and everyone who sponsored the 2018 Bash.

It's great to see the involvement of woodworkers and suppliers in this forum without the "drama" found in some other communities.
 
Edgar--from here your efforts looked Herculean!! I came away empty handed, but not without having had a BLAST and learning a lot at the same time (though you could do the same wood puzzles next year and i'd still struggle!!).
Thanks to all for the banter and a good time. Now...time to feed a few pecans to my mongeese!!

Congratulations to the top puzzlers ! I know the amount of time it took me to get three points . I could never get to the level you achieved .

Once again , heartfelt thanks to Edgar for his herculean efforts to entertain , enlighten and frustrate us . Thank you for drawing my name for the spalted wood and thank you Northern Spalted for supplying it . I look forward to using it and comparing it to my locally spalted woods .
 
Thanks Edgar for all your time and energy. Thanks for drawing my name for a Toni blank, I have wanted one of her blanks for a long time. Thanks Toni for supporting the BASH.

Wanted to give a very appreciative THANK YOU to Edgar for all the work he does for the IAP. I also received a $20 GC from Bear Tooth Woods for guessing which day he would start the Puzzle contest. There were some very nice donated prizes and I can't wait to start on my Steampunk blank!
Thanks to all the donors this year! I'm sure many of the members will agree this contest is something we look forward to every February (and August for the Summer Extravaganza).
