You win hosting rights for RQ#294. In retrospect I should hive given more clues as we went down the list and it gets harder to distinguish between places with only small differences in population. Also it was a tough one to mark since correct answers were often given for the wrong question, so please let me know if there are any errors. Thanks for playing. cheers, calvin |

Only one, on the first question, and it only affects 5th vs. 6th place. -- Mark Brader | "What students seem to really need are on-demand signs Toronto | that show up at the point of need exactly when they msb@vex.net | need them, but..." --Michelle Eichelberger et al. |
