Remember My Permanent Contest:
Find any mistake in spelling, grammar, or punctuation on any page of TallMania (one of my mistakes, not one on a page I've linked to).
Point it out to me in an e-mail to mr.t@tallmania.com.
If I agree that I've made an error, you'll get your lowest quiz score dropped for the current grading period.

I've taken faces from 15 different currencies around the world.
Can you tell me which country each one is from?

I was really impressed by the results of this contest.
Some students reported spending hours trying to get the answers. Most entries were almost all correct; Jonathan got all the answers right.

The Winners:
Iara, 7-C
Ben, 7-E
Monica, 9-F
Jonathan, 9-H
Stephanie, A-2
