In March, Six Flags over Georgia offered a Jeep to the person who rode the Scream Machine, a roller coaster, for the longest time. After 60 days, the park declared a three-way tie.

But a well-informed U.S. official tells TIME that word of the February deal was flashed to Washington from Africa and elsewhere. A participant in a Foggy Bottom meeting in early March says the completed shipment was described in detail at that session.
