2) Win Star Wars R2-D2 Inflatable R/C

We had cartoon contest. If you have not read the cartoon – I suggest you go over this cartoon story one more time.

The task was to give the correct answer with some interesting note along with it. We selected a few good quotes and put them together. We later on picked the winner by using random algorithm. The winner gets fantastic Star Wars R2-D2 Inflatable R/C.

Thank you all for participating in the contest – this was fun – if you have liked it do let me know and we will come up with something new for you next time.
