RESULTS OF THE 2000 COMPETITION

After complex transport arrangement the very small number of entries arrived very late in Devon. The Day of Judgment was on 9th June 2001 when learned men from around the globe gathered to examine the stones.

  1. The winner of 2000p is Francesca's and Henry for a remarkable tennis ball size stone.
  2. The winner of 1000p is Ben & Izzy for the biggest stone which must weigh nearly as much as them but it does not quite make it for sphericity.
  3. The winner of 500p is David for being sharp eyed and spotting the roundest stone object in 400 tons of gravel.
