Should we say the answers now, since i know some.

I just finished answering most of the questions. I do not know if they are right. Has anyone else done any of the questions.

Post your answers and we'll all compare to see if we agree? I'll have to do mine tonight, I'm just popping in right now.

Looks like my answers are the same as Tatiana's overall. Great that a new player can find all this out! Nice work, Tatiana.

To answer your question about ID numbers, Tatiana... its in the URL. You can the number on the end:

Thanks Cleo,
I enjoyed searching through everything and finding these questions. That was in between doing interviews.
We have till the thirteenth so does anyone else have answers done.

Wow, you guys had to search long and hard to get these answers!!

I have not gotten around to it other than my one (how pathetic) response. I would defer to Cleo anyway since she is way more knowledgeable about the SIM than I. Also, nice work Tatiana!! Well done for someone so new.

Thanks to both of you for all the hard work.

Haha, I doubt that I'm any more knowledgeable than you. The only question I knew the answer to without researching was question 6, because I own one of the horses mentioned!

Question 2 is a concern. I have no idea which answer to go off. Maybe both, with my reasoning included in the answer?

My guess is that we can start entering week 1 races on the 5th and they will be run on the 12th (which I think is along the lines of what you are saying).

I'm inclined to think the day after foals are due since that's been the day before horses age and the year turns over. So it'd technically be week 1 Monday but races would open the 5th.

I think it is September 12. We got those answers done quick. But anyways, September 12 sound right to me.

Sorry, folks, I totally flamed out on this deal...I've been soooo super busy both at work and at home that I just didn't get time to do all the digging for the answers. BUT, big thanks to Cleo and Tatiana and y'all who did!

I'll do better for the next contest.

Sorry as well, I've been doing 15 hours days and nights all week .... damn deadlines

But looks like most of them have answers. Great Maybe I will get a chance to look properly on Saturday. But if we are confident of the answers before then, just send

I am glad we are confident on most of the answers, we should at least get how many points? IDK

Great job Tatiana and Cleo, I haven't had too much time to search for the answers but seems like you guys took care of it for us. I'll double check the answers just to be sure although I'm confident they are all correct. Just wanna make sure we are perfect so we get every point possible. Again, great job ladies!

Just a reminder we need to send this in soon-ish. Speak now or forever hold your peace if you would like to debate the answers of Tatiana or myself.

Send-er in, I can't find anything to dispute, you guys did a great job on this one!

Sent our answers in.

Go Cleo and Tatiana!

Looks like you guys were perfect! Way to go Cleo and Tatiana, AWESOME job!!
