There's no way this is actually going to pay out ten billion dollars. Neither Gerard Priestly nor Priestly Industries exist, and the website is just a standard cookie-cutter WordPress blog, theme and all, which doesn't ring with a contest that has a backer who can afford to give out ten billion dollars. Frankly, I'm not exactly sure what to make of it at this point.

My current theory is that we won't really be competing for the money, but trying to find out what happened to the contestant that went missing, which was mentioned in the video, and possibly investigating some other mysterious happenings surrounding the contest that have yet to occur or be uncovered as of yet, maybe even having to do with Mr. Priestly's death or past.

On another note, both Gerard Priestly and Sally Ann Whiterose have LinkedIn pages.

I also called the number on the homepage. Attached is a recording of the call. Naturally, I chickened out when it came time to leave a message.

He got a law degree and *then* a PhD in Chemical Engineering? Uh... yeah...

I do find it amusing that he went to the University of Georgia for two years, yet "lettered in golf" for three. Razz

And I show no trace of Jan Hendrik De Boer ever being at NCSU...

Yeah, if you're reading this PM... we're *that* picky. Very Happy

Several updates.

Seems like Mr. Priestly is in the hospital.

Btw, it seems to me that Mr. Priestly is in denial.
