HPfGU Contest

No: HPFGUIDX 46447

Hello, contest fans.  It's time for a contest update, some contest 
results, AND (tah-dah) a new contest!  Yay!

Now, you might have noticed that I haven't posted the results of the 
October contests yet.  In fact, you probably noticed that I never 
posted the results of the September puzzle, either.  You probably 
think I'm a lazy, good-for-nothing slug of a contestmeister, and 
you're probably right.  So sue me.

Actually, I still haven't written up a list all the imaginative HP-
related terms that people came up with for the September contest, but 
I will post the results. The September puzzle, if you can remember 
that far back, was to come up with SCATTERGORIES-type words 
representing people, places, things, beings and terms starting with 
the letters in the words BLACK, HAGRID and LUPIN.  Contestants 
received points for unique answers.  The winners are:

LUPIN -- Catherine, with 24 points.
HAGRID -- a tie between Catherine and Brandon, each with 37 points
BLACK -- hickengruendler, with 33 points

OK, on to the October logic puzzle.  I will post a solution, but for 
right now I will report the list of people who got the logic puzzle 
correct:

Jaye finished it first, so is our October puzzle winner!  Yaye Jaye!
The following also sent in a correct solution: Greywolf, Maria, 
Genevieve, Loony Loopy, Kathy Lischke (with an extensive 
explanation), Moonlight the Ferret Lover, Kangas Boy, Raven, 
Beccablue42, Deirdre, Sherry, Kim Davison (welcome to HPfGU, Kim!), 
Vicki, Brian, Jennifer (shufan), and Doreen (fauxpas)

Good work, all!
