PRIZE: actual snail-mail postcard, sent through the U.S. mails to you at the new rate (26¢, domestically, for up to 6 inches by up to 4.25 inches)

YOUR MISSION: Match each beauty parlor interior with its city.

Winner is (a) the first to match all four correctly, or (b) whoever has the most correct matches when I get tired of waiting.

In the event of a tie I'll send everybody tied for first a card.

Okay, here are the cities:

    (1)  La Palma, California, U.S.A.
    (2)  Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A.
    (3)  Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
    (4)  East Orange, New Jersey, U.S.A.

and the lovely atmospheres in which to get your 'do done are here:

    (a)

    (b)

    (c)

    (d)

And don't be trying to guess from the image file names. They don't match the questions.

Good luck!  [edit: contest now closed --- results here]

Hmm--I'll go for The o-so-mundane A to be from New Jersey, the patriotic red-and-white floor of D for Canada, The Mormon Tabernacle salon of C for Utah, and those big, hip self-obsessed mirrors of B for California.

And to help your grad student to do the grading faster:

1: b
2: c
3: d
4: a

I'm certain that those rationalizations are no better than random chance. Let's see--I have a one in four chance of getting the first one right, a one-in-three chance for the second if I get the first, and a 50-50 chance for the third if the first two are right. The last would be a gimme. That gives me a 1 in 24 chance of winning a postcard.

If I win, will you give it a spritz of that root beer perfume you use on your pencils?
