Hi Challengeers.

Now that our Asia winners have had a little bit of time in the spotlight, it's time to give a cheer to all those who didn't quite make it to the top, but did very well.

While entry numbers are low, I'll only be posting the Top 30 overall, and no highest rankings (other than the five winners) for Level 2.

So if your entry appears on any of these lists, you did very well. Give yourself a pat on the back.

Love, Deb

Congratulations, all.

Those of you who have repeatedly done well this quarter have my admiration. This round of topics has certainly been a stretch, and shown me that regional topics are not my strong suit.

Then again, that's what the challenge is all about, isn't it?
