This is a great idea - the only question I have is...isn't it highly likely that the correct answer to this question is going to cause all emails with correct answers to end up being filtered out??? ;)

So entry deadline is Friday at noon, but they notify winners after noon on Thursday? I think the voting works like that in Philly too!
