And the winner is...

I was going to write something snarky about all the entrants to the last mind-bending riddle being inventive-but-forgetful geniuses, as everybody entered anonymously. This would have made it terribly difficult to correctly award the well-deserved Euro. One anon is like any other, after all.


Fortunately, Chris wrote his name within his anonymous entry, so he wins by default. Clearly the cleverest.


Chris, next time I see you, I have a well-polished Euro with your name on it!*


This, of course, assumes you are a Chris I already know.




*"your name on it" is a metaphor; "well-polished" isn't.
