Please note: I do these results post the first chance I get after Friday. That means if you send your work in later than Friday 11:59 PM, there's a chance I won't be at the computer from the time I advance post the results Saturday AM until Monday AM. I'm not angry at you: I simply haven't seen your response because I'm out doing something else. Sorry about that, but, you know, weekend.

This feature will return in two weeks -- I'm taking SPX weekend off. Probably.
