A surprisingly low turn out.
 
Dan Blum is the winner.
 
and this is the final installment of the rotating quiz series. I thank all of the participants over the years, you made this a lot of fun for me. But like all good things, including Mark's rare entries contests and the mcrib, this too must end.
 
The credit for coming up with the idea in the first place goes to Calvin, for which he has my eternal gratitude.
 
My sincere thanks also to Erland Sommarskog who posted the first one, using the title "Erland's Quiz #1".
 
And of course to my thanks and a round of applause for Mark Brader, who originally suggested using "Rotating Quiz" as the continuing name, which I agreed to use moving forward as the first winner.

I would say that Dan Blum has full freedoom to overturn this ruling.
Although it is try that the number of participants in the rotating quizzes
has been dwindling for quite some time.
