Apologies for disappearing. Went to India last minute which threw everything offboard as I prepared to go. Went to Aurangabad, a small but rapidly growing town known for the Ajanta Ellora Caves , it’s where I went to school. Anyway, more on that later, this post is to announce the winners of the Superfreakonomics competition.
I received 11 comments and 3 emails. It’s always interesting to see how people respond to such open ended competition questions; you often find that responses are not what you expected – but that’s what makes it interesting I suppose. Anyway, my two winners are:
1) Sean McLachlan: Because he wrote a simple and funny limerick as a response. Certainly one of the most unique answers.
2) Kedar: Because he put enough effort to come up with a freaky question, logic of which was so freakishly random that only he can make sense of — which is pretty much like all the questions the Freakonomics guys pose.
So voila! Congrats Sean and Kedar. Please email me your postal addresses so I can get the publishers to mail the books over to you. As for the rest, thanks for participating anyway!
The freaky connection between Skylab and moi is that as the giant space station crashed into the Indian Ocean on 11th July 1979, a new star was born. 🙂
Thanks for the book Abha.
