Who Won That ARC Contest, Anyway?

Why, it was Paul Nikkel!
How did he win it?
Because I asked my wife to pick AM or PM, then a number between one and 12, then a number between zero and five and then a number between zero and nine. She picked PM, 9, 2, and 0. 9:20pm. The entry closest to that time? Paul Nikkel’s!
Congratulations to him and thank you everyone for playing!
Congratulations, Paul!
Well done, you lucky person, you! Not, of course, that I’m jealous in any way…
Congratulations, paul!
Enjoy, Paul!
Man, I missed entering by mere minutes! (not that I would have won, anyway)
Was he on a slate?
Congrats Paul
I told my wife that you would be asking Athena. I was wrong on that one.
Hmm, because entries aren’t submitted in an evenly distributed fashion, it would be wise for me to make my next entry at an unusual time period, like 4:00 AM.
So if it’s a sined ARC, did someone ARC-cosine it too?
Thanks all for your wishes. Looking forward to my sneak peek across the world in Singapore:)
Oh, so close.
Hey, don’t do this contest again for a while. I have 41 new books I have to read because of this…
