If you recall, last Thursday I linked to a giveaway contest. Given the extended nature of the challenge (we combined with Cee's Fun Foto Challenge), I let the contest run through yesterday. The contest is closed, the four winners have been notified so I thought I'd share a little bit about the contest, the process and what I learned.
Mechanically, I used the Crowdsignal survey widget that is available from WordPress (at least with paid plans). It's not the easiest thing to adapt to a contest, so I ended up transferring the results into Excel. Excel is not my happy place, but it's familiar territory and it has a random number function that makes choosing a winner from a group of correct answers easy.
Between one question with multiple correct answers, one with no correct answers and question four, which was just an opinion, Excel chose three out of four winners. The other question only had one correct answer.
The three slideshows below illustrate the first three questions from the survey. I expanded the captions to give a bit more information about the answers:
1) Which location does NOT appear in all three books?
2) Which location was NEVER visited by an FBI agent in any book?
3) Zach NEVER stepped into a dream at which location?
While there was no correct answer for the fourth question, the majority chose the

Pittsburgh Police River Patrol. These guys saw some action in The Evil You Choose.
