Weekly Trivia contest for the week of April 13

[Steve Hubbell]

They say that if you get a roomful of monkeys and give them all typewriters, eventually all the typewriters will get broken.

Possibly, before that actually happens, they might collectively type something readable first.

I inserted a secret message in the monkey gibberish below.

Fine Print - if the winner is outside of the USA, assistance with shipping costs would be appreciated due to the size and weight of this book

[Gaffey]

You're giving away a $100 hardcover? Is everything ok?

[Maka]

So cool, Steve! Love it! Good luck everyone. Peace, maka

[Mayhem]

Wow, he's probably confident he's only getting a few replies this week heh... can't be any less than my question

I have the hardcover, but I might give this a whirl for S&Gs anyhow heh...

[maichan]

Okay, I'm in on this one..... PM sent.

[Steve Hubbell]

Ok, I have been informed by the chief monkey that there might have been a typo or two in the original message and so I was given a replacement to post.

I figured that it shouldn't be a problem since the week is still young and everyone seems to be interested in participating......

So, go back through and see if you want to change anything.....

[BuckRogers]

Ahhhhh, code breakers!!!

I think that your message was written by this guy!

I'm still seeing double and my brain is still spinning...

[Usagi-chan]

This is a great contest! I think I've almost got it...

[Gaffey]

I felt pretty good about my first guess.

Now I'm thoroughly confused.

One guess only?

[Steve Hubbell]

Don't be distracted by the shout out to Kyle....

[maichan]

[maichan]

Now I'm confused.


Is it in English? Or maybe Gaelic?

[Mayhem]

Okay, I'm confused now too, but I'll see about looking at it all again...

[BuckRogers]

Don't be distracted by the shout out to Kyle....

Well DANG! There goes my only supposed lead!
