Tuesday Teaser photo verification
Oh my goodness! This post has been in draft since Tuesday! I’m so sorry. There must have been an interruption while I was composing it, but I just don’t remember now.
Wow! This is the first time I’ve had to face a dilemma in identifying the correct answer. I’ve tried to be logical and fair, though, so follow along with me. Answers that did not include the theme could not considered, since the contest calls for identification of the theme as well as the items pictured. The answer which identified the crayons as “an 8 pack” had the wrong count. Since the respondent chose to include a count, the count needed to be correct. It would have been a correct answer if no count had been included. Thus Whim was the first to identify all six photos and include the theme. Congratulations to everyone’s favorite Whimsical Brainpan for continuing to play week after week and finally prevailing. She’s won two reviews of her blog (since there was no winner last week) and will be entered into the gift card drawing along with the rest of the February winners. February is almost over, so watch for the winner’s announcement soon. Someone will be ten bucks richer and can make a downpayment on their Las Vegas hotel reservations (or they can take a Starbucks or Amazon gift card if they prefer.)
It’s time to take our pulse again. Is the new format for Tuesday Teasers an improvement over the old, or should I go back to the tried and true? Are you comfortable with the logic I used in naming the winner? I could fall back on the stipulation in the rules about my decisions being inarguable, but I want to know if you feel that I’ve been fair. When I do hidden object game reviews I’m quite harsh on game creators that I feel have not respected the spirit of fair play. It’s only right to apply the same standards to myself. Do you think accomplished that goal?
Mahalo to you all for playing. I hope to see you back here next week for the first Tuesday Teaser in March!

Since I was the one who identified the crayons as an 8 pack and didn’t win because of it, I am fine with that. It happens. I will just try again another time. I thought I hadn’t identified the composition book well enough, either way I was tied up all day long and couldn’t fix my answers. You have a great game here and I will continue to participate when I can.

Mahalo for your understanding Drew. You were so close I’m sure you’d have taken the day if you’d only had a chance to take another look. Maybe next time!
