Hello All,
How do I get a free slice of pie?
If you are one of the first 5 users who gives an answer to every would you rather question, you will get a free slice of pie and an apple from me!

Where can I find the list?
https://permies.com/t/238000/Permaculture-Edition

What are the rules?
You must answer every would you rather question from 4/17 or earlier that has a link in a staff note. See the pictures below for examples.
No one word answers, give us a little bit of why you picked that one
You have to pick one or the other... no choosing both or neither.
You must post back here when you think you are done, so I can check.

Good Luck!

I'm seeing a few more answers to questions here or there, but no one has completed this contest yet. Bumping this to keep it in front of people.

2 1/2 hours later I think I have them all.  7 of them I had already answered so I skipped those rather than repeat.

I've been seeing the notifications roll in :), let me double check them this evening, but I suspect you are the first winner.

Congratulations C. Letellier,
You are the first winner!

PS I'm sorry it took some time, but there is no behind the scenes magic, I have to check each one manually :)

Would it speed the checking up if they had to submit a list of links to their posts?

It would help some yes, but would be a bunch more work on the user. Maybe I'll give a bonus if they list links to all their posts, but I'm not going to make it mandatory.

There are a few people who have quite a few answered. There are 50 questions, and if you answer all of them according to the rules, you will win a slice of pie and an apple from me. I can't promise, but I suspect other people may add a few apples as well.

I see someone else is getting closer. Just bumping this for anyone who has not seen it yet. Earn a free slice of pie and at least one apples by answering all of the would you rather questions from this index. Just click the links in the staff notes and it will take you right to the place to answer.

I think I've got them all.
And now my brain is tired. But that was fun!
It would be interesting to revisit my answers in 5 years to see whether/how they will have changed.

Congratulations! You are our third winner. I thought at first, I was going to have to remind you of a couple... but I realized you did answer them in the index thread. So it is all good.

Enjoy some pie...

I just realized we don't have any pie related "would you rather" questions :)

Here's one - Would you rather have sour or sweet cherry pie?

Just bumping this thread. I still have two more pieces of pie to hand out if anyone likes answering crazy questions.

Hi Susan,
You did a great job answering the first 4. There are actually 50 would you rather questions that are part of the contest. I would love for you to be #4. If you scroll through this thread - https://permies.com/t/238000/Permaculture-Edition

You will see little staff note boxes under some of the posts. The link above is like the index, and each link in those staff boxes, takes you to another thread for just that question. And you can read some amazing answers and add your own. Once I see a post for each question, I'll be able to send pie your way.

I've still got 2 more pieces of pie available for any adventurous or curious souls out there :)

There are 50 questions. You don't have to answer them all at once, but you do have to answer all of them. Here is the index page, you can read the instructions up top in the first post of this thread.
