wouldnt radio astronomy bring even more out? was the question "visual"
I dont know, I am just clutching at straws.
I didnt enter either, mainly cause I am lazy but also the questions were over my head....
I think your idea for the next one is good mike  
tho i am having problems working it out...

Oh My Darling Clementine - NOT
and retrospective thoughts on my other answers
I don't think I deserve a point for Helix
Without being pedantic about the validity of the answers given, my research showed technicaly the correct answers s/be
Q 20 "Freidrick Otto Schott"
Q 21 "Alpha Centauri A" (plus the others)
or am I just plain wrong ?
Anyway great fun, thanks IceMan.
May force myself into to Bintel this arvo I only work round the corner,
but I have a problem with always finding something 'I need' whenever I drop by.

Hi 33South..
It was never my intention to be that pedantic about the answers, it wasn't in the spirit of the competition.. after all, it's not like we were giving away a $10,000 prize
So technically, you're correct but I answered everyone with the same leniancy (and warned it would be that way) so in that respect it was fair
Hope to see you there this arvo.

here we are waiting, its 5.43 and Mike hasn't posted who won the competition yet. You would have though the kind people at Bintel would lend their PC to him to post the winning entrants 
now remember to type Houghy on the winning certificate.........

Houghy,
You're right - it's best that Mike announces the winners. However, he's just rung me on his way home from Bintel with the results, and he says he might not be able to log on tonight...
Then again, maybe he will...
