Clouds in the Sky

Remember the "Cloudy Competition" I did here at the LT Library? If you don't remember or you want to learn more, look at the previous posts.
The competition ended on January 29th and I looked over the answers for those who participated the following day.

here were two age groups. The Young Adult/Teen and the Juvenile or those ages 12 and younger. Of the two age groups, I have to say that the Juvenile group did really well. In fact, I had a three-winner tie. So, now I'm trying to figure out how to split this prize for this age group.
I did have one winner for the Young Adult/Teen group.

There were a little over ten entries altogether which is more than I expected. Everyone did well but there was something lacking. There was one rule: tell me where you found your answers. That disqualified a lot of good entries. I hated to do that but that was a rule and I don't really like rules but I had to follow this one because it is so important that when you find an answer to something or you discover new information, you need to be able to retrieve it or tell someone else where you found it.
This is a lame example but think of a situation where you and a friend are talking about something you learned and you're just passing it along. They are probably going to ask you where you heard that from or found that answer. If you don't know, or if you're not sure... well would you trust them. Think of it as gossip. Someone says this, someone says that, the chain moves on and the next thing you know... what was passed along is maybe 5% of the truth. That is why writers and researchers cite or create a bibliography of their sources (where they found their information.) Otherwise, it's like... who are you to say that and why should I believe you?
Maybe now you see why it is a little more important. Or maybe not.

I'll announce the winners on the blog after I have called them and picked out the prizes. I'm sort of struggling with this (the prize part.)

I had a friend that used to always say "Where is your scientific proof?" I'll never forget this.
