It's too hard for me to imagine that little water in a whole year; the Netherlands are like London in that respect. When the calendar says "summer", then it is raining.

So I looked that place up on wikipedia, and it has its own entries on flora, fauna and ..humans? There's humans who settled in a place where it doesn't rain? 170 towns worth of them?

That is the reason I like to live on the coast of California. The year I lived in Newport Beach, CA did not use the air conditioner or heater once. However I did use the fan. Now when I moved to Studio City, CA I real happy to have both, but still it is pretty mild there.

If only, first day of summer over here, but I prefer the winter.
Air conditioners are pretty rare in the Netherlands so when it's hot outside it's hot inside (which isn't very often, but still a few weeks a year).
Everyone has heaters though, so when it's cold outside I get to pick the temperature inside

You can always spot the travellers in Rome in autumn/spring, they are the ones in tshirt and shorts while the locals have their winter finest on. Fashion trumps comfort every time. You see it in SG as well, 30' and some of the locals have jumpers on, weird.

... and we still haven't had a frost up here. When it's been cold enough it's been too damn windy.

It's midweek and we're feeling generous. So today we're giving away not 1, but 2 spot prizes in the Summer Fun with Arduino Challenge. Congrats fatman and AppJeanne - you've just won yourselves brand new Raspberry Pi starter kits. Nice one!

?? And what shall be done to get these ?
|
|
|
|
|

Thanks Kent. The two above profiles who got prizes are almost empty, where can I find their entry/article ? I think I am completely missing the point here. 
|
|
|
|
|
It's a competition to find a specific answer, not a competition for article writing.
|
|
|
|
|
I am still lost, which of the 3 challenges[^] is this ? And where are the entries ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is challenge number 1 - Build an Arduino LED Binary Counter. The details are on the Overview page. You have to find the secret code and enter the result in the Code Entry page. Those who successfully complete challenge 1 are eligible to enter the random draw for spot prizes.
Challenges 2 and 3 are article writing challenges and those articles/ entries can be found under the Entries tab. Hope this clarifies.

You really can't keep changing the rules after you've published them.

They're spot prizes. The whole point is they are meant to be a little random.
cheers

The spot prizes are Arduino starter kits? I thought they were going to be the Pis?
|

|
|
The spot prize is a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ starter kit.

Ok, thanks - that's not what was posted in the first post. Thus my question. All good now.
