Christmas in July Contest - The Results

A couple weeks ago, I gave an update on the current results of the Christmas in July Contest.  Here were the winners of the first two questions.

Cataclysm Release Date Announced (10/4/10):  Loganw (Guess was 9/23/10)

Cataclysm Release Date (12/7/10): Alero (Guess was 12/1/10)

However, at that time, there was one question that was still up in the air.  The release date of 4.0, which actually turned out to 4.0.1.  Here were the top three winners for that question.  Remember, it has to be the closest without going over.

4.0.1 Release Date (10/12/10)

1) One Tree Heal (Guess was 10/10/10)

2) Natrii (Guess was 9/21/10)

3) Alero (Guess was 9/17/10)

So, as I thought was possible, we have three different people closer on one of the dates a piece.  This means we have to go to the tiebreaker.  The tiebreaker is who is the closest on all their guess by the least number of days.  This doesn't matter if it is over or not, it is just who is the closest.  Let us start with Loganw, then One Tree Heal, then Alero.

Also, as a treat to Loganw, who is a close follower of the site, I give him this.

Congratulations to all the major prize winners.  But we are not done with prizes yet.  Yes, we have some authenticators to award.  Any of the current prize winners are ineligible but I'm randomly drawing for the three authenticators.  The random drawing is being done thanks to random.org.  The number comment you were determined what number you were in the generator.

Authenticator Winners

1) Brandon

2) Antlergirl

3) Natrii

All the winners will be contacted by e-mail although I hope they read it here first.  Congratulations to all the Christmas in July Contest Winners.
