All you have to do is answer the questions below.
I surveyed RTH members and I have the top 3 answers to each question! The person with the most points at the end of the contest wins a flat rate full of slabs, Burro Creek and other good stuff. I will post a pic on Saturday.
The contest ends on Friday, November 16th at 7pm Arizona time.
#1 answer is worth 30 points
#2 answer is worth 20 points
#3 answer is worth 10 points
Once your answers are posted, you may NOT change them!
There will be no clarificaton of the questions. I gave no clarification during the survey. Just answer the questions the way you think your fellow RTH'ers would answer them. In case of a tie - there will be a tie breaker question.
Good luck and have fun!
1 - Where do you buy your rough?
2 - What brand of tumbler do you have?
3 - Where is your rock shop?
4 - What type of rock is your favorite?
5 - What color rock do you prefer to work with?
6 - What contest on RTH was your favorite?
7 - What is your favorite polish?
8 - How many tumblers do you have?
9 - What do you use for dopping?
10 - How many rock books do you have?
11 - What brand of diamond blade do you prefer?
12 - What size saw blade do you use?
13 - How many rock boards are you a member of?
14 - What is the name of your favorite agate?
15 - What time of day do you usually work with rocks?
16 - How many lbs of rock do you own, your best estimate?
17 - What was the last piece of lapidary equiptment you bought?
18 - How much did you spend on rock last week?
19 - Who is your rock mentor?
20 - What would you like to learn most (rock related)?
Only 1 answer per question! Since I forgot to post this at the beginning of the Contest......... JACK is allowed to change his answer by picking only one of his choices each!

Cool contest idea Sheri, I had a feeling it might be something like this.  I'm going to need some time to consider my answers for the popular vote though. I'll get back to you on that later... |

1. I don't. It's against my religion. 2. I dunno. I bought one but never took it out of the box. 3. I just pick a mountain. 4. Whichever one is in my hand at the moment ... would you call that addiction? 5. What color is the rock in my hand? 6. This one. 7. Sausage 8. One ... gonna have to try it one of these days. 9. Ummm, that's a bit too personal. 10. None ... mine are all paper. 11. Whatever brand the WF came with. 12. Not big enough. 13. RTH, exclusively. 14. You name your rocks??? You're even more addicted than me! 15. Every spare minute. Time of day is irrelevant. 16. Ten tons ... extremely conservative estimate. 17. New handle for my 5 pound sledge, cut-off for one-handed use. 18. Zero. 19. Mother Nature 20. A cheap, easy way to get the Chrysocolla from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain without having to carry it down. Something tells me I'm not going to win this one.  |
