But wait, there is more! I decided to add two additional winners, because the payout for my challenge post was bigger than expected. This means:

Congratulations to all the winners :)
Such a great concept !
I am really looking forward to see what the next theme is gonna be !
We offer our congratulations to the winners, and to all other participants for all of the excellent posts created in response to this challenge! Here's to a strong STEM community on steemit :)
Congratulation to all the winners!!
Yay! Congrats @chrisroberts! (My sweet hubs 😍 ) and ALL other winners and participants!
Now I'm must go check out the other entries.
Thanks, @suesa for organizing this post AND for saying why people were disqualified. That is super important and helpful.
Oh, and thanks for being awesome in general.
Thank you! :D
And yes, telling people why they were disqualified is extremely important because most of them can do better next time and have a chance to win, especially because the quality of their post wasn't necessarily bad.
Wow! Third place! I'm seriously honored that you thought my post was that good! I'm so glad that I fell in with you guys on Steemit. Wow. I just did not expect that at all. Thanks so much.
Congratulations :)
Thank you for setting up the challenge and the generous appreciation! I certainly had fun writing the post!
@suesa Thanks a lot for organizing this challenge! It was a great prompt and very fun to participate in it.
Thank you also for the generous prices, congratulations to all the winners (I am glad I was among them). I got to know more of the science people on Steemit and read some interesting contributions. Keep up the great work!
Happy you enjoyed it and your submission was truly fantastic!
I just realized I didn't put the comment with the link to my post in your original post. Not that I was expecting to beat anyone here. I'm a dummy. XD
I was like hey, I'm not mentioned here.
D'aww :/ you can still link it under this comment if you like. And it won't be the last challenge, next time you'll remember!
Stupid like a fox.

Awwwww jeeeeez that post is cool. I gave you my $20 vote on it. So you kinda still won ;)
Thank you, you're too kind. The comment was more than enough. I'll donate the $20 for the next prize so it doesn't feel like a pity vote.
Please don't donate them! I would have upvoted your post anyway, would I have read it as part of the challenge. It was one of the few misconceptions I was really looking forward to.
As you wish.
great job, Suesa! I'm not in math anymore, or I'd join this awesome contest :)
