Today's the Day! Don't Be Late
Today is the last day to send in your Mystery Class answers! If you haven't sent them in yet, you MUST do so by the end of today, Friday, April 23. (To be fair to everyone, any answers received after Friday will not be eligible for the contest.)
Just in case you missed them before, we are again providing the instructions on how to place your answer one last time below. Be sure to read and follow the instructions carefully, and send your answer by the end of Friday April 23.
What Now? Watch This and Catch the Excitement!
We know all of you have been working very hard over the last eleven weeks trying to solve this worldly mystery. And we're sure you have all scratched your head wondering where in the world your new secret mystery friends are hiding. But in just one week, your new friends will reveal exactly where they are. Once you learn their secret, will you look as excited as the students in this video from a previous mystery?

When you submit your students' answer on April 23, it is essential that you follow the instructions and rules.
As teachers who give directions and instructions yourself, you understand the importance of carefully reading and following directions. Now it's your turn! Please read and follow all directions below carefully SO THAT YOU SUBMIT YOUR ANSWERS PROPERLY.
The full checklist of instructions is below, but here is quick Summary of Salient Rules:
1. NO ATTACHMENTS PLEASE! Send your answer IN THE BODY of an e-mail (don't send attachments!)
2. INCLUDE YOUR GRADE IN THE SUBJECT LINE of your E-mail (If you don't, your answer will be judged with the Grade 12 entries.)
3. DEADLINE: ANSWERS ARE DUE NO LATER THAN APRIL 23, 2004
(To be fair to everyone, any answers sent after that date will not be accepted. Why? See Mystery Class FAQ's)
4. WARNING: DO NOT SEND MORE THAN ONE VERSION OF YOUR ANSWER: Once you've submitted your answer, you may not change it or try to send it in again. Only one answer from each class will be accepted.5. BE CAREFUL! DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ANSWER CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU SEND IT IN! Make sure you have your answers the way you want them. Once your answer is received, we cannot change or correct your mistakes (even simple ones like transposed locations). So be sure to double check your answer before submitting!
