    I have been able to name it in the first 2 seconds for every contest. I am sure most other geeks like me can also. Try to make them a little harder 😉

  9. I agree with Chad, these have been REALLY easy. Maybe a two-tiered contest?

  11. Hi JohnS,

    That is a good idea, I want to make the contests fun and challenging. I try to announce the winners for the weekend contest on Monday or Tuesday but sometimes it gets delayed by a day or so…

    You have a great collection of clock on your site. 🙂
