[JJ-Malaysia]

Yesterday was the final day for entries to be sent in for this, so they had a feature on the people rushing to send in entries...

There's a guy who sent in 133 entries, and another who sent in 106.... the first one said that in all the 15 puzzles, he has spent 6,000 Ringgit (or about 1,500 US Dollars) on purchasing newspapers to get the entry forms - crazy.... I I thought I was going bit too much purchasing 10 papers each day for the final week.... haha

[JJ-Malaysia]

I am so sad.... the puzzles have ended, and we didn't even come close on the final week..... for the first time, someone out of the 98,000 entries, sent in an all correct entry..... the closest we were was the penultimate one, where the winner had 2 wrong, and we had 4... for the Audi...
