What do you think, Dan? Looks like these folks nailed it – prizes to all of them?
Dan Zedek said:
Yup, I’m very impressed. I’d say they all get prizes. Stephen, what do we have for the lucky winners?

All of them are right, but; But Chicago Tribune was founded in 1847 and EL COMERCIO from Lima – Perú was founded on 1837. Its older than Chicago Tribune and use that “C” too. Ithink .I can say C – El Comercio.
Excuse me for my english. Its really very poor.
Thanks for all.
