Thanks to all the people who've responded via e-mail, which made me realize an
embarrassing flaw in how I've structured the contest that I must correct immediately,
i.e., to request that any respondents send their answers to me via e-mail, since posting
them on the listservs would immediately short-circuit the contest!
BTW, of the e-mail answers I've received, all 3 of the differences have been pointed out,
but not by any single person, while several have pointed out things that I wasn't aware!!
Final answers will be posted on Thursday morning.
