Week 3: Scores

Scores after 3 weeks

We've got a true leader! Lady Dunnlop scored three, while the rest of the leaders from last week didn't score. Looks like a tight race is shaping up!

Kudos to player "Whud's the point?" for doing the unthinkable (scoring points)! ;)

Week 3: Answer

Everyone has a pair, but only 5 whud players are as hip as this dawg. Whud3 was a yellow stitch in a pair of BLUE JEANS. Popular but wrong answers included: carpet, wool, and sweater. Kudos to those that got our first 60Xer right!

Did you know that the name "jeans" is derived from the birthplace of denim in Genoa, Italy and that around 1872 they were developed in the USA by Levi Strauss?

More on the history and growth of the popularity of jeans can be found in the wikipedia on jeans.

Week 3: Just for Fun Again

Whud is it?




It's "Turtle Island" in the Palawan Islands of the Philippines. And it's on sale for just $575,000 USD. International Real Estate Marketplace has this and many other private islands up for sale. It's fun to dream.

I visited the Philippines last year, and loved it. If you haven't already, please have a look at my many photos and stories about my trip. What a great place!



PS. Whud 3 guesses are due at 6pm EST today!

Week 3: Just for Fun

Whud is it?



It's a strange photo that turns up on the first page of a Google Image Search for "it"

That is all. Carry on. :)

New: RSS Feed

I added an RSS feed for those of you in the xml know. Thanks for the suggestion, hi2u. Basically, RSS feeds allow you to be notified of updates to this web page using newsreaders and various other web apps. If you don't use RSS feeds, simply remember to check for the weekly whud challenge on Mondays, and remember that answers are due by Friday of that week! Cheers!

Week 2: Scores

Scores after 2 weeks

Take a look at who's on top! Reigning champion "Champ", former two time champion "Whudup", veteran player "Frenchy", and star newcomer "Rrrrrr" are tied for the lead followed closely by a lady from Dunnderland.

A huge kudos to Frenchy for setting the standard for game speed. He had his answer submitted just one hour after it was posted to the site. How are the donuts in Bermuda?

Week 2: Answer

Homer likes donuts

Looks like a lot of the Whudders are more health conscious than Homer J. Simpson. Bran muffin and pumpernickel bread were amongst the more popular but wrong answers. Whud2 was in fact a CHOCOLATE GLAZED DONUT from Tim Horton's!!!
