So, who won the prize for being first to make the trip from the top of the Empire State Building to the ground?

Given the chance, I'd love to sit down and have a beer with him. I bet he's a character.

I liked his method of strategy development in looking for the "Twin Sisters" cannons.

He tried to replicate the conditions of the legend by getting drunk and hiding something in the woods -- then he went back when sober to determine how far the actual was from the perceived.

He couldn't find the test item either
