Chinese Tobacco Whispers journeys end competition

Hi folks just a short intro, for anyone that has not been following the Chinese Tobacco Whispers thread this is the culmination of a small undertaking by a group of FTT members to send a package of seeds around the world and get it back home while allowing folks to acquire seeds that they did not have for the price of a postage stamp, well it got home in the end and now it’s time to give a little back to one lucky winner.


In the Chinese Tobacco Whispers rules, I stated that none of the FTT members involved in the whispers would be able to guess in this competition, this was due to the fact that they would have a good idea what was in the package,
Hold on a minute these folks put a lot into the whispers so how could I get them in on the journeys end competition, easy instead of guessing the entire contents the rules are below.


Chinese Tobacco Whispers journeys end competition rules

1. The package the winner will receive for free, will contain 30 strains of tobacco seeds.

2. Absolutely any FTT member including Whispers participants can take part.

3. Only one guess per member posted in this thread.

4. The package contents will be listed below, there will be a choice of A,B or C seed strains, only one of these strains will be in the final package with the other 29 strains.

5. The competition will be run until Monday the 10[SUP]th[/SUP] March 6pm GMT, at which point no more entries will be accepted.

6. Once the competition is over the members that have picked the correct extra strain eg A,B or C will be put into a hat and the first member drawn from the hat will be the winner, can’t do fairer than that.

7. The winners FTT user name/ tag will be posted here and the package will be sent out ASAP.

Please post one of the following only A,B, or C

A- Tree tobacco
B- Moldavian-456
C- Cherry red

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Well the guessing is now over and it is time to announce the winner of the Speed of Seed Sweepstake.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The package left Madhouse Bills plantation at about midday on the 30[/FONT][SUP]th[/SUP]of November 2013
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The packages itinerary was as follows:[/FONT]


UK-----------------New Mexico 4998 miles
New Mexico---------Michigan1587 miles
Michican-----------------Florida1251 miles
Florida---------------=-Alabama 515 miles
Allabama---------Pennsylvania 816 miles
Pensulvania------------Sweden3998 miles
Sweden—-------South Africa 6278 miles
SouthAfrica ----New Zealand 7193 miles
New Zealand-----New Zealand 180 miles
New Zealand--- ------Kent UK11680 miles
Kent UK –-----------------Kent UK 12 miles and Home
Total Miles for Journey---------38,505 miles


The package arrived back at Madhouse Bills plantation at about 10am yesterday the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] of March 2014.
So the package has been traveling for 92 days and 20 hours or 2228 hours.


The average speed of the seed was 38,505/2228 that is 17.28mph.
Now onto the winner. There were lots of good guesses made but it came down to only two on the return leg, these were Knucklehead at 16mph and Me Markw at 18mph.:eek:
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Now I can hear the tongs a wagging that it is a fix (them darn Brits again) but over here the bet is usually the person who is the nearest under the mileage. So I am pleased to award the first ever prize for the Speed of Seed Sweepstake to our very own Uncle Knucks, well done and congratulations.[/FONT]
I think that we will all be looking forward to your 2015 grow log.


Thanks again to all who have taken part in this fun event.


Kind regards to you all

Many thanks mark for all your number crunching for the Speed of Seed Sweepstake, you are a very modest fellow, and as you say the person nearest under the mileage is always the winner in the uk it maybe the other way around down under lol.
