Congratulations to David Levine – winner of Unca John’s inaugural brainteaser.  Many of you submitted correct answers and we placed your names into a hat. David’s name was pulled by none other than the man himself - Unca John.

Unca John has worked up another great brainteaser – which I’ll post on Monday.  Stay tuned.

Unca John is just a little to tough on us at times. His first brain-teaser stumped us all. Nobody answered ALL questions correctly. So - we’ll collect any submissions, and the folks with the most correct answers will have their names placed in the hat for a chance to win a free O.A.R.S. t-shirt. We’ll announce the winner in November.
