Can you find the missing kitesurfer?
In this photo there are two kitesurfers out in the warm tropical tradewinds having a great day in the Cocos Islands lagoon. Using the sneaky skills of Photoshop we've rubbed the other guy out. Where is he?
Using all the intellect, image analysis tools, water sports experience, darts, best guess, mates, friends and family, see if you can identify which cell the missing Kitesurfers head is in. Yep, his head.

And the winner is...
Azza2u
Congratulations Azza2u for picking cell H4!
Thirty Four (34) people chose the correct cell, and for the first time in running these competitions, it was the most popular cell, along with L6 which also had 34. A special mention must go to gremlin12 because he was the only person to choose the cell directly above (H3) - soooo close!
Personally, I'm envious as heck, as Azza2u is off to the Cocos Islands for 10 days of awesomeness, with just about everything paid for. Gotta love that!
The competition has been great fun - thanks very much for entering, I really hope that you enjoyed being in the competition as much as we've had fun running it - more soon!
Enjoy .. Laurie
