READ WHOLE TOPIC BEFORE PARTICIPATING
As promised, here is round 2 of the Gmail competitions. Round 1 was a huge success. Thanks for all who participated.
I have chosen to make this round a little bit more interesting. I aim to give away many more Gmail accounts this time around. I cannot supply how many we will have given away before time is up, but before the email my Gmail account received generated more invites.
This competition will be based on a riddle. The first 6 people to solve the riddle and IM their solution to the AIM SN “Enter2WinGmail” will each get invites. Alternatively, you may email your solution using the email button above. Your solution that you submit is FINAL and cannot be changed. Anybody may enter that does NOT have a Gmail account. C’mon guys, let’s give the others a chance. :p Google is strictly prohibited as means to solve this. I WILL BE ABLE TO TELL IF YOU USED GOOGLE!😡
The riddle is as follows:
A sportive young hare and a tortoise raced in opposite directions around a circular track that was 100 yards in diameter. They started at the same spot, but the hare did not move until the tortoise had a start of one eighth of the distance (that is, the circumference of the circle). The hare held such a poor opinion of the other’s racing ability that he sauntered along, nibbling the grass until he met the tortoise. At this point the hare had gone one sixth of the distance.
How many times faster than he went before must the hare now run in order to win the race?
Unlike before, this contest will have a close date yet to be determined and those awarded invites will be announced at the END of the contest. As usual, you need your first and last name, and your current e-mail address.
