We\u2019re dispensing with the 20th question and simply accepting by e-mail answers to the 19 question-quiz (ignore the part of the instructions printed at the top of the quiz sheet pertaining to the 20th question, and to bringing in your completed quiz). Our deadline for getting your completed quizzes in to us is August 22, two weeks from today.<\/p>\n<p>Scores will then be tallied from all received entries, a winner determined, and a prize mailed by conventional post to that person. In the case of a tie, the winner will be determined by random draw. Send your quiz answers to <a href=\"mailto:veep@monsffa.ca\">veep@monsffa.ca<\/a>; please include your name and mailing address with your answers, including postal code.
