Since there is a 5-way tie for first; with a score of 7: David Adams, Ms Helen Corning, Rosamund Clifford, Secret_Squirrel, and Della Devine are now in a sudden death match. Whomever can come closest to the correct date (e.g. November 16th, 1982) of the only time in recorded history that it SNOWED in the SAHARA DESERT, will be today's winner.
