I scored folks right, but I posted an error in the key for #4. It is fixed now.
So were any of these bad questions, or is there some source that disputes on of the sources I relied upon?
Any discussion? How about that page on saw blades? really highlights the difference between masonry and lapidary blades. Still I think the big difference would be for commercial users with zillions of cuts. The difference in metal wear and optimal grinding action for home users is likely to be small and the cheaper masonry blades still a potential bargain.

Thanks for the contest Daniel. I really didn't expect to win this one. I searched for the answers but got tired of looking and guessed on the last couple. This was a freat learning method. Thanks again. Tonja |

Once I fix the key for #4, I think beefjello may have tied ladyT, so I will send some starburst, African Queen, and Dalmation to beefjello as well.

Thanks for the contest Daniel - I didn't make it back in time to re-play (this time using Google!) but will know better next time! Learned a few things as well!
Congrats Lady T and beefjello!

By the way Daniel, I though your idea for this contest was great, it must have taken you awhile to search out the questions.

Well Cher - yes and no. A lot of these I had searched in the past and posted on RTH before. Sometimes when looking for one site I find others that are interesting and boomark them. Still, I had to look around for some sites to support answers that I "knew" but did not have a site for. I dropped a few questions whenI could not find good sites to put with the answer. But I like searching and reading and learning.

Thanks! I am still learning; now I need more books. That's OK, I love books! I thought it was educational, interesting and fun. I'm with you, Daniel, like searching, reading and learning. I didn't enter, but I did learn a lot.
