We have a 3 way tie for first! I didn't expect that one at all. I need a tie breaker. Since we have to go on the data we have, I am going to use the differential based on 2 time-based questions. These guys all got either 2 or 3 so I took their 2 best.
1. Glenn Hahn +55 seconds
2. Mike Hinterberg +106 seconds
3. James Kirk +215 seconds
Since Glenn has his own set of Boston schwag already, I will give him the crown but pass the prize to our 2nd place finisher -- Mike Hinterberg! Congrats, Mike. Must have been that magic spreadsheet you referenced. I have a gift from Boston for you. Shoot me your address via email. James, good show too!
Thanks for playing everyone!
