GAME OVER MAN. The winner is -a tie- How can that be?? Well, the question was thus; In what city did the designer of the Volkswagen set up shop after WWII? The correct answer is Gmünd, Austria. Two persons answered correctly, within minutes of one another (I mean minutes!) but one misspelled the word Gmünd by not using the umlaut over the 'u' in the word. Being a stickler for exactitude (yeah, sure) I had to disqualify him (didn't). Maybe his machine doesn't do umlauts? Oh well, I'll send the first fuel pump out to the correct speller (after he sends me the $5.00 postage), and I'll scare up another fuel pump a friend has laying around on his bench (and not needed either) for the umlaut impaired among us (after he sends me the $5.00 for postage). [They are being informed privately off line. Thanks for playing and I can't wait to see what the gang tosses up next time! |
