After I launch the quiz tomorrow, my queue will be empty once again.  
I need some new ideas, and I’m willing to pay you for your efforts!

Here’s the deal: the next submitted quiz[1] that inspires 15 or more  
unique solutions[2] will be our winner. I will mail the submitter a  
signed copy of the Best of Ruby Q. for their efforts.

Best of luck to all submitters!

1: Quizzes are run in the order they are accepted. Note that this  
is not the order they are received, as I often send them back for  
clarification on a point or two. However, if you submit a complete  
write-up and a solution you are 90% of the way to making me happy, if  
not more.

2: A resubmission or correction of a solution does not count, but I  
will count two different solutions from the same person separately.  
(By these rules, the numbers on the Ruby Q. site are not an  
accurate count.)

You seem to be assuming that everyone knows where the secret New R.  
Quiz Submission Drop Box is located. 😉 Although you have a link on  
your site, maybe you could also mumble the submission address in this  
thread? 🙂

You could have saved me the trouble since you found it, don’t you  
think? 😉
