My apologies if you did not care for the amibigious nature of the contest, but I intended the contest to be that way - it was a mystery after all. Perhaps, in the next edition I will make it less of a mystery although the large majority of the public and private feedback was positive.

Thank you to those who left kinds words as well as critiques after the completion of the event.

Thank you all those who participated in the contest as well as those who observed from a far.

And now to the awards...

With an amazing guess prior to my final give-away clue. In true S. Holmes fashion...
Rubydragon Caledonii

And in second place we have...
QuintusCinna Cocceius

And in third place we have...
Thea Didius

It was an amazing race to the finish and I had the pleasure of watching the answers come in. Thank you again to the participants.

And thank you to Cornellia, one of our wonderful demis + the Roman scribes for assisting and encouraging this event.
