How Did You Know Jimmy Luth?
We had a lot of fun giving away daily neatorama prizes this month! We hope you continue to enjoy this new aspect of the game. Thanks for being active on the Facebook page. Head over there to find out if you're a random winner, as we just announced that. Meantime, congrats to our first place winner and new (and former) champion, Jimmy Luth!
Apparently June is my month for winning HDYK (Past winner, June&August 2010 - An honor retained at the top of personal google searches). It must have been in the answers because I was not first to post the final answer and I had a 10 minute delay in start as I thought I had until Tuesday before I saw the facebook post (Everyone should join the HDYK facebook page). I am thrilled to win a month that included references to some of my favorite things in Modern Family, classic cartoons, and Angry Birds along with new ways to submit and a user submitted puzzle. Seriously, you should do that again, I would love to create a puzzle as much as I do to solve them. I attached a photo of me and family (Laurie, Annabelle-5, and Rebecca-2) at the Georgia Aquarium this summer as the sprinkle picture wasn't the best turnout. Thanks again to MF, Neatorama, and the facebook hinters - especially Sharon who helped me get my last missing answer.

D1L3 Mighty Eagle HDYK: He is purchased separately in the game Question: In what country is Rovio (makers of Angry Birds) based? Finland
Day 2 Modern Family HDYK: Created cipher style setup in Excel and tried some different ideas to see what would create two words. Sadly found it was the answer which I suspected but apparently wasn't solving correctly.

The guys on this team are in good shape. TOODGSH - HOT DOGS! HDYK: Knew some right away but had to second guess and fill in to figure out each clue. The aliens was the toughest one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball#Current_major_league_franchises D4L3 BULL DURHAM FIELD OF DREAMS THE UPSIDE OF ANGER FOR LOVE OF THE GAME A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN HEIROWN - Kevin Costner is not in this movie.
