Do you know how long it’s been since I last ran one of these trivia contests? Of course anyone can look back to see that April was the last time. I know these things are sporadic and often absent from this dedicated trivia section for many months at a time. While I do think of them often, I can’t get there from here as often as I’d like.
My wife told me the last installment was too hard. I’m sorry if that turned some viewers away from the game. Ryan, the last winner, just had all the right answers to all the questions – as if the contest were written with his interests in mind.
It occurred to me that I possess a seemingly endless vault of photos that we can have a little fun with. I’m talking about fish photos smarty!
Recently I took some additional photographs with this contest in mind. We are concentrating on the fishes’ tails this round. Specifically, the identification of fish from photographs of their back ends.
What an amazing array of rudder units that have evolved on each fish.
Please take a look at these twenty fish tails and see how many you may recognize well enough to identify the fish to which they belong. I am happy to receive simply the genus or common name of each fish as a correct answer. You may include species names if you like - I will not count corrent or incorrect species names for or against your total score.
The contest winner will receive $ 50.00 of free TUIC fish with no expiration for cashing in his/her rewards.
Moderators are invited to participate as well. If you've already won a contest in the 2012, please do participate as you like - but I'd like to give new winners the chance to get free fish.
As practiced in previous trivia contests, please do not post your answers directly on this thread. You don’t want to give away your correct answers to other participants!
Please either email me directly at bigguapote1@verizon.net or send me a private message with your answers.
I will close the window for responses on Tuesday the 16th at 3 AM EST. That’s midnight for the left coasters living in PST.
Of course anyone is free to please share comments (but not answers) in subsequent posts.
I will post the winner’s response sometime on Wednesday the 18th.
