OK, this actually gets very tricky. Determining the winner, that is. Problem is that we had several writers submit guesses, and of course they intentionall "mis-guessed" their own stories in order to avoid giving anything away. So, in effect, we have a winner overall and a winner taking into consideration intentional misguesses. Also, some people, either because of age or principle, did not read the Nfic submission and therefore could not submit a guess for that particular story.
But first, before I say who's who in the winner's circle, here are some stats on the stories - which writers were guessed for each story and in what quantities. The actual writer is in bold type. Take a look and see how you did.
