As I said last week, it was a fun experience writing these posts each week. Actually, I had this idea at the beginning of 2020 and my goal was to time it so that the final week would land on Election Day. Unfortunately, I realized that I would need to have one each week with no missed weeks. It would be way too tough. So I started writing a few and decided that it was going to be impossible to make it happen for 2020. I ended up writing about half of the posts last year, then another large chunk early this year, then other ones I just wrote when needed.
Anyways, I am sure some of you are looking for the winner of this trivia contest. And honestly, you are all winners! But for those of you who are wondering how the rankings went…
AtomK13–530
Adam2–528
Robert–461
Sean–300.845
Bill–188
Mom–164
James–135
Shannon–120
Melissa–94
Justin–87
Allison–60
Greg–47
Dan S.–43
Jason–5
Nole109–5
Laura–5
Scott–1
An incredibly tight race between AtomK13 and Adam2. AtomK13 got 37/45. Adam2 was even more impressive with 42/45. However, AtomK13 earned the bonus points for being the first to get it most weeks (not every week though). They had an impressive run for like ten weeks where AtomK13 would send me his answer a few minutes after the post went live, then Adam2 would send his like a minute or two later.
The prize was going to be a t-shirt of William Henry Harrison, but the few folks I know who make shirts said they did not have the capability. So instead, you get a NFT! This NFT (not an actual NFT because I have no clue what that really means nor do I understand how it works) is one of a kind (not really since anyone can right click and save it) and could potentially be valued around $40,000 (definitely not, the value is zero because it is worthless). Honestly, you guys have earned my respect! Adam2, feel free to drink as much of my bourbon as you want. AtomK13, well if we are ever at a Pirates game at the same time, I will buy you a beer! Unless you do not drink, then a hot dog. And if you are vegan, I guess a green pepper.
I hope if you followed along all year that you learned a thing or two about our presidents. One thing that stuck out to me while doing this is just how many crappy presidents we had. There have been a few great ones. A bunch of good ones, but after that they run the gamut of meh to awful.
