Shucks. Unfortunately, nobody got the answer right for Tom’s question, which means it must have been pretty tricky! Good job Tom! You’ve stumped us!

So for this particular question, instead of posting the answer, we’re going to save it for later and possibly for a bigger, better prize.

Thanks for all those who participated.

Make sure you check back with us next Thursday for a new question- a not so tricky question!
