  • an easter egg challenge

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to All on Saturday, November 14, 2020 21:03:00
    As a preliminary test and as a way to inaugerate the newly
    revived MUSIC echo, I thought I would reprise a little contest
    I created during my "stay home and stay safe.. blah blah blah"
    moments back in April this year.

    Follow the instructions very carefully. Incomplete or
    imprecise answers are disqualified.

    The PRIZE offer mentioned on the link below has expired. But I
    may make an exception depending on how much fun this can stir
    up.

    I posted the following to some of my peers in Fidonet, but I
    thought that some folks here might like to join in on the fun.

    5 eggs have been hidden in 4 locations somewhere in the world and one egg on a planet.

    yes, I remember playing this. It was a fun little contest. Since I already
    know (well, submitted answers way back when ) I'll not compete again.

    You did well.

    BTW.. I'd still be happy to send you a free audio book of your
    choice if you want, 'cuz you were such a good sport.

    I wish I could send you a music product the same way, but all
    I've got are the books.

    I appreciate the offer but I'm not really an audiobook person. I donate it to your next winner. :)
