... I joined on a whim.

Was looking up something in Germania after someone suggested it, or made reference to it -- I don't recall precisely.

Saw the contest, looked it over, found a few of the pictures, then joined up. Didn't find Romeo until after the quiz was already out by a few hours -- thanks to Marduk for hinting about it.

Personal business got in the way of finishing part one and starting part two on time; had I had no distractions, the quiz would have been finished before midnight of the first day.
