Now, the verdict. Tom Pontoriero, fresh from a second place finish last issue swooped in to score well, more than 20, 23 or so, I'll recount later, but since he won by a landslide (no one else submitted), I can hand out the trophy without an official count! Tom, your C&D gift certificate will be in the MathSoc office as soon as we put it there! And remember all you other readers, if you submit, and you're the only one, you win. And that is that.

Oh ya, the Squiz. Daryl McEachern pretty much is doing all the work during his free Monday afternoons, and then I compile it and lay it out. Sounds like a fair partnership, so here's an entirely Daryl Squiz:
