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


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:
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.
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


MarkW

I appreciate it guys, but according to the official posted rules, Markw is the winner:

The Prize
The member who guesses nearest to the average speed when the packet arrives back at Bills ranch will win 10 packets of seed from Madhouse, and I will donate another 5 packets of true seed, this making a total of 15 packets of top quality seed to the lucky winner..

Rules are rules, Mark, congratulations. :eek:

Yep! that is why I made two guesses close together, you don't want to go over otherwise you lose. I should have put that down but I was thinking it was common knowledge. Ha I can't exactly post them to myself Lol. you won fair and square by the rules we use over here. Congratulations Knuck's you are the worthy winner.

Me be humble? Forget it. The rules were clear from the start, now Mark's trying to change the rules after the game is over and that's not fair. Now I'm being ganged up on. Foul! Foul! What do you two conspirators say to Don arbitrating the matter so we can settle this like gentlemen?
Otherwise I'm throwing down the gauntlet and challenging you two to a duel.

Duel!, Knucks i thought we were meant to be allies in this confused little world lol, Mark you better get your boxing gloves on, ill stand in the corner behind the ropes with the towel lol.
it's a bit of fun take it and do what you will with it, set up a new comp if you like, if you dont ill pm Don and let him know you are the first Speed of Seed double agent (Dr No) lol.

Speaking of Guinness, you have all the documentation needed to submit the Tobacco Whispers for a world record. Why not go down in history?

Sound's like a great idea Bob, but who's the person for the job, im only any good at drinking the stuff not recording how much i have drunk, always seems to get a bit blurry and i lose count lol, would be really great if someone could step up and submit the whispers to Guinness.

Dont forget folks you only have 3 days left to win 30 packs of free Tobacco seeds.

please follow the rules set down in the first post in this thread, remember these seeds are absolutely free to the winner, so if your just starting out or want to just add some new strains take a guess.
