I won my first stump prize last year (and I'm disappointed I didn't get to go to WWDC this year)
It was a similar deal - I had the right answer, (McIntosh Laboratories had a mention in the first Macintosh users guide) and the rest of the audience thought I was wrong. (The audiance thought it was Apple Corps.) So I also knew when to shut up after giving a right answer. :)
The best part? It was towards the end of the night, so they just piled on the prizes (i got like 3 shirts, a USB dev kit, a PowerBook screen protector thing that I promptly lost the next day, and a certificate for 2 licenses of SubEthaEdit. :D the SEE thing was the *ONLY* thing used for more than a day. ;)
