HARD CONTEST...maybe...AND THE WINNER IS...

SPEEDracer · May 26, 2004 11:31PM

OK, so here is the new contest with the prize from the previous contest. Still the same 9 circulated Iraqi Coins. Here are the rules:

1. There are no rules
2. Refer to Rule number 1.
3. Rule 3 is the exception...Everyone is eligible - especially Joe1957 (See last contest for explanation)
4. Ok, and so is 4...If you are the first person to correctly answer all 3 questions first, you WIN!

Ok, no really, you have to answer these questions.

1. What does this building have to do with coins?
2. What city and state is this building in?
3. Who did this building belong to?

Here are a few hints:
1. It is a building
2. It is still standing
3. It is an old building

--I hope that helped

I will periodically give away clues in lulls of guessing.

GOOD LUCK!

It's the log cabin Abe Lincoln was born in, and it's in Hogdenville, KY.
Abe Lincoln is on our penny.....DUH!
I assume it belonged to Abe Lincoln's parents, but it is now a national historic site.

DominusDeus · May 27, 2004 5:53AM

Lincoln was born 3 miles south of Hodgen's mill (now Hodgenville, Kentucky) on Nolan Creek. The log's of the cabin have also been moved sevearl times, and was reassembled near the origonal site.

Tons more info here.

SPEEDracer · May 27, 2004 11:30PM

Nope, sorry again...Is it time for a hint?

1957joe · May 27, 2004 11:38PM

OK...............really I have no idea but............................how about.................... Philadelphia, Penn and Ben Franklins birthplace?????

SPEEDracer · May 28, 2004 12:02AM

OK, I think that it is time for a hint:

I went to the store with $100.00 and I bought the following items:

- Cherry Koolaide x 15 packs @ 4 / $1.00

- Hatchet to do some yardwork x 1 @ $25

- U.S. History Book for my daughter @ $30

- A case of Coke @ $10

- A new model train @ $30

On the way to the register I dropped $1 Dollar.

How much change do I have left???

Hopefully this will help you start to figure it out.

George Washington's birthplace, someplace in Va.

SPEEDracer · May 28, 2004 1:29AM

Ok, what clues did I give that hinted you in? The answer is not entirely correct. You have 1 of 3 correct. It's your job to find out which one is correct.

1957joe · May 28, 2004 2:06AM

your trip to the store. you had .25 left so I figured it had something to do with GW.

SPEEDracer · May 28, 2004 2:15AM

Ok, well that answers question 1...3 shouldn't be that hard...I just need an answer...number 2 is going to be really tough. I'll give a hint in a little while if nobody gets it.

1957joe · May 28, 2004 2:36AM

answer to #3.................. George Washington's parents??????

SPEEDracer · May 28, 2004 2:44AM

You have the George Washinton part right...but it did not belong to his parents. It was his...but he did not own it. Maybe that helps.

DominusDeus · May 28, 2004 2:46AM

If that was the case, the building would've belonged to Mary Ball Washington and Augustine Washington, in Pope's Creek, Westmoreland County, VA.

CoinAddict · May 28, 2004 2:49AM

#1 is George Washington on the Quarter.
#2 Cumberland, Maryland
#3 George Washington's headquarters during the French and Indian War.
Here is a link to more information.

SPEEDracer · May 28, 2004 2:49AM

Maybe it would help if I told you that behind the building was a river, and across from the river is an old time train station.

DominusDeus · May 28, 2004 2:53AM

Not any more, it wouldn't.

Well it looks like CoinAddict got this one. Congratulations! How did you figure it out? I've PM'ed you for your information. Thanks to everyone for trying. I may have another contest soon.

Thanks for the cool contest. It was not that hard after you gave the clue about having $100 dollars and ending up with $1.25. I then searched on yahoo for Washington's cabin under the images search and found a pitcure of the cabin which then gave me the answers that I needed.

SPEEDracer · May 28, 2004 12:10PM

Not bad...next time I will have to draw out the clues a little better.

HARD CONTEST...maybe...AND THE WINNER IS...
