In August, I offered a giveaway for Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Identity. To win, entrants needed to guess the largest country in terms of population from which Rat’s Reading had not seen any visitors. There were guesses of China and Russia and a couple others. However, those countries have fairly large populations of Internet users. Instead, folks needed to be looking toward Africa.
I never set a closing date for the contest. However, I’ve gotten no further guesses for two months, so I’m going to close it without a winner. Mostly I’d forgotten about it, but today I looked at my stats and I’ve now had a visitor from the formerly correct answer. On 30 October, someone from Ethiopia read two pages of my drivel. Since the answer is now wrong, I figure it’s okay to give up on the contest.
