The Winning Dummies are . . .

On May 25, I announced a contest whereby the readers of shmula could enter and win a Six Sigma for Dummies Workbook.

Below were the contest details:

Submit your Six Sigma questions and enter a chance to win Six Sigma Workbook For Dummies, an industry bestseller since its publication in 2005.  We are fortunate to have Craig Gygi, the lead author of Six Sigma for Dummies and the companion Six Sigma Workbook For Dummies to answer reader’s questions for this raffle.

To enter,

  1. Submit your question for Craig in the comments of this post.
  2. Comments will be turned off on June 8, 2007
  3. We will enter all the commentators names on my handy-dandy randomizer, using a hard-to-crack random seed, and 5 randomly selected contestants will win a Six Sigma Workbook For Dummies book.
  4. On June 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, I will publish Craig’s answers to some or all of the reader’s questions.
  5. That’s it.

Well, I’m a little late in announcing the winners because things have been crazy at work and home, but the winners are . . .

Methodology

So, to be fair, here’s the methodology I used:

I created a MySql table called DUMMY that contains the email addresses of the 18 people that submitted questions to Craig Gygi.  I then picked 5 random row numbers then ran the following query –

mysql> SELECT * FROM DUMMY ORDER BY RAND();

The Winners

The winners using the rand() function are below:

  1. Gary Petersen
  2. Ron
  3. Andrea
  4. Amit
  5. Daniel

Congratulations and thank you for submitting such insightful questions.  Beginning tomorrow, I’ll be posting Craig Gygi’s responses to those questions, so stay tuned.   In the meantime, please send me your physical mailing addresses so that I can mail you your prizes.  Congratulations and stay tuned for Craig’s responses.
