So there you have it. How did you do?
We were shocked by the number of you who tried to pass yourselves off as American when clearly you’re British. And those who tried any number of tricks in order to illicitly enter the competition.
Englishman Ginro for example, wrote, “I'm not American but my brother is American by marriage so I will be his stand in.”
And now… drum roll please…
