Lamont...any way you can add xls files to the list of legal attachments?
Irish,
PDF's are allowed. Have you tried to download and install a free PDF printer like "Cute PDF" or "PDFCreator". Then go to File/Print and select the PDF "printer" to convert the spreadsheet into a PDF.

Clarification
Irish,
Given that there are three Continental Divides in North America and many more throughout the other continents, will any of the Continental Divides satisfy
55. At the Continental Divide (50 points)?
This might help our brethren in the far flung reaches of Spyderdom, and I'd surely like to see some out of the US participation/photos. Still waiting for a koala/Spyder combo...
I reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_divide.

Any sign that says Continental Divide (in any language) will do

Irish,
Another question regarding your list.
88. A sign with the longest word
Are you talking about the longest word in your native language? Are you talking about who ever gets the longest word and only one person will get the points? Please elaborate. Thanks in advance for the clarification.
With Christ all things are possible, so live life with no fears and no worries.

So does that mean these have already been used? Also, I know it is your contest and your rules but that township in Ontario is not a word, it is many words. Don't see how that can count. It seems like it should be one word, not hyphenated, or commas or spaces. That first one, the name of the lake, that one is probably a winner though.

Deb,
Think these are examples of place names from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_word
Since I just happened to be in the vicinity of Washington-on-the-Brazos (cited in the Wikipedia article, by the way) I thought I'd better snag it after Irish used the hyphenated example of Thai name for Bangkok: Krung-thep-maha-nakorn-boworn-ratana-kosin-mahintar-ayudhya-amaha-dilok-pop-nopa-ratana-rajthani-burirom-udom-rajniwes-mahasat-arn-amorn-pimarn-avatar-satit-sakattiya-visanukam; it has the Guinness World record for longest place name in the world.

No...none have been used. And I agree that it should be one word

Can't award points. No illusion in the mural; not a GIANT Easter egg

Verb, I believe they are places, just not one long word as per the contest.
