  • My  dear friends! It is time to summarize the results og our voting. I am glad to tell you this month we have got three winning questions. They are:

    Round 4 (Onee). It was the question about a red dragon robe.

    Round 21 (Luci). It was the question about antibiotics.

    Round 45 (Tanya). It was a rhymed riddle about God.

    So, dear Onee and Luci! You both will get a very good book by Michael Crichton. It is "The Sphere". And Tanya will get whatever she likes.
