As my time as Shot by Shot administrator draws to a close, it’s time to post my last seven shots. These seven will close at 12:00 AM on August 1st. All the shots before it will be revealed after their seven days have expired. For example, I will reveal No. 19 by editing and putting the answer on No. 26 tomorrow. I will list the time I update scores on this shot, and I will list any hints on their corresponding shots, so keep an eye out. Also for these seven I will not only list how many correct guesses there are, but also who all got it right. It’s been a good month and I’m anxious to see the outcome.

Edit 7-28-06:I will be out of the state until Monday. If I have the means to update scores, I will, otherwise I will update them as soon as I get back Monday. I’m also adding an additional shot to No. 27 and No. 28. Good luck to all of you!!!
