The fact that 3 persons guessed the correct name of the update, from the long list of lakes in Finland, makes us all wonder if there really is a pattern for how the name is selected... If so, I hope many of you will find that pattern for the next round :) But let's remember, even if there was one, it might always change...





The winner has been contacted and we'll do our best with Kimmoli to deliver the giveaway already for Christmas. Congratulations Mattias, and the best of luck for everybody for the next round! Thanks for participating!
