Yes, that's right! The Odyssey
Scoop's Contest is officially over and it's time to reveal our winners! The contest ran
through March & April 2002 with a total of 23 contestants. When it was time to grade
the contest, I realized that not only would we have three winners, but we'd have even more
because of the ties. Instead of three winners holding 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place we now have
5 winners sharing those places.
The object of the contest was to
answer 25 trivia questions about "Who Did That?" on Adventures in Odyssey to the
best of their ability. Below is a list of our first, second, and third place winners.

5. Who fell out of the upstairs window at
Whit's End?

Mustafa as an answer but technically Mustafa jumped through the window intentionally.
Eugene tried to save Mr. Whittaker from falling to a horrible demise because of a curse
and fell out the window.

Actually, Eugene fell off of the roof and landed on an awning while trying

them that driving while listening to Odyssey "can be dangerous" and that he
almost drove his semi off the road? (Since this one is so hard I'll give you a hint: Chris
mentions this at the end of an episode in the album, "It's Another Fine Day.")
Dave Pence: correct spelling unknown, Chris
read a letter by Dave Pence that was sent to Focus on the Family at the end of an episode
