I havent tortured people with a contest for many moons.
Its time to rack your brains and wreck your eyes.

October's contest is a word search puzzle of bottle collecting terms.
It can be downloaded in PDF format here...

http://antiquemedicines.com/blog/BottleGameOct2011.pdf

The rules are simple and you must follow them to win.
- find words and phrases having to do with bottle making and collecting within the puzzle.
- there are 40 total hidden in the puzzle
- list your found words in an email and send it to me at mknapp@antiquemedicines.com
- include your forum name and real name
- only send ONE entry per forum user
- serendipitous words not part of the intended 40 will not count (so dont be afraid to list more than 40!)

The contest starts NOW. The contest ends Tues Oct 1 , 8:00 PM EST.
The winner will be EITHER the first person to find all 40 items OR
if no one finds them all, the person who first finds the most items.

Good luck and may Odin have mercy on your souls[;)]

...someone says, 'what do we win?' ...

Very Generous of you. I have never tried one of your puzzles, but I'm thinking of giving this a shot.
BTW. You said ending time is 10/1 - - - - I think you (obviously) intended 11/1.

I think I will go ahead and do this later. I doubt I'll get all 40, but I saw a few just glancing over it... These kinds of things are fun, you wouldn't mind if I printed it out and gave it out at the bottle club, right?

Thanks that would be correct NOV 1.

The prize will be a nice emerald green Hathorn Springs Saratoga mineral water. In great shape.

No problem but do it after the contest ends. Not fair to others if you use solve using 'parallel processing' aka bottle club.

A word to the wise... since there are words and phrases in the puzzle, if you find PONTIL make sure its not really SOLIDRODPONTIL.
Phrases must be complete to count. Its unlikely anyone will get all 40 (miracles sometimes happen) so dont give up if you only find 27 [;)]

Of course, I just mean to amuse them! You don't have to worry, the next meeting isn't until Nov. 11th anyway. I just think my bottle peeps, most of whom don't even have computers, would get a kick out of it... [:D]
