after about 100 different tries, I finally figured it out & even get a free pair of Levi's Jeans for the effort. They will let us know tomorrow who the first 100 are

The little birdie tweeted-
" The 100 Finalists will be notified via email tomorrow night, Nov. 17th @ 6PM PST. The Finalist must be ready to go at that moment"

Yeah, it took me ^%^&@# forever, but I finally got it. The consensus is that you only have to have certain key words to get past each question (e.g., "book" vs "red book" or "a red book").
I'm putting the answer I used here just b/c I believe in the open sharing of info:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
501 jeans, journal entry, Randsburg invitation
The phrasing of the 2nd item is what took me the longest to nail-down.

I FINALLY had someone help me with it. I had all the right stuff, just wasn't specific enough with the last item you listed. I REALLY wish I could have found out last night, when I stayed up till 3am trying to word it right!

I realize the "riven rock" clue is probably actually referring to a rock. As it would seem obvious... but just in case it doesn't... thought I'd add to the confusion.
------
Just for the fun of it... it seems Riven Rock also can refer to an area in California?.
"a massive sandstone boulder, split in two by a tree, on an estate called Riven Rock outside Santa Barbara, Calif. In the early decades of this century, the estate's real-life owner was Stanley McCormick, son of the millionaire inventor of the reaper."
----
While poking around some more, I found a Riven Rock inTexas that's been around since the 1870's.

changing jean size In haste, during the final quiz, I clicked the wrong size of jeans; so I asked GameTeam about that. I'm sharing the reply here in case any of the other 99 were also wondering.

Greetings Game Team!
I hope this message finds you well and in good spirits.
Sorry to bother you with this question, but I know a few of us are wondering about how to change the size for the jeans. (I'm certain I clicked on the wrong size myself - I'd need <snip>) Will you be making a post about this?
Thank you so very much for the gift and for this wonderful adventure into America and her history!
Go Forth!

Unfortunately we cannot make any changes at this point.
Due to the turnaround to get them out to everyone asap,
the data has already been entered into the system.
But, we shouldn't think it would be a problem to exchange
a pair of 501's at your local levi's store for a correct size.
Even without a receipt, most stores will do a direct exchange
for you with no questions asked.
Thanks for playing, Drizjr, and Go IV!

Hopefully, stores will exchange them then, especially with the Christmas season coming up when they're usually a bit more lax about return policies. I honestly have no idea what my jean size is and didn't want to waste time during the quiz by measuring myself

Has anyone received their jeans yet? I think the rules said allow 6-8 weeks. and we're at 6 six weeks now. And has anyone heard from Laura? I'll bet they had a very merry Christmas.
*eta I received my jeans yesterday. Thanks Levi Strauss Co, I think it's the first thing I've ever won in a contest.
