'The Hardest Riddle Ever' Event
This past weekend, Dr. Riddler invited a group of friends to a party of puzzles and games. During the night, Dr. Riddler presented a "special riddle" to his guests. Whoever figured it out fastest would win a great prize!
The six guests who attended were Calvin Peterson, Florence Oak, David Gardner, Lester Page, Joel Pastor, and Veronica Andrews. After a lavish dinner and a few more hours of puzzle fun, Dr. Riddler began to announce the name of the person who figured out the "special riddle:"
"OK now everyone...!"
"The winner of..."
"'The Hardest Riddle Ever' Event..."
But before the good doctor could congratulate the winner, a loud noise from outside interrupted him. However, everyone knew who had won.
Who won and how do you know?

Hint
This puzzle could easily be placed in the "Series" category.Answer
Florence Oak won.The first letter of each word in a line of Dr. Riddler's speech spells out the numbers One, Two, and Three.
The next number being Four means that Florence Oak is the only person who could've won.
His last line would have been: Florence Oak: Ultimate Riddler!

IM DA FIRST WAHOO!!!
Nice one!
I thought the "OK" was "Oak" something.
Very difficult but loved it!
I totally thought everyone was the winner. "Ok now, everyone, the winner..."
I must be either dense or tired because I don't get this at all.
It was clear that the introduction spelled ONE, TWO, THREE, but how can we tell that the winner will be Florence based on the assumption that the next line of the announcement will be FOUR? How does the number four automatically mean Florence? Does Florence mean 4 in another language? My guess was to pick Joel or Mr. Page because their names had 4 letters.
I hope you guys won't be making me feel like a complete idiot when you point out something entirely obvious!

Hmmmm... I took a while to understand this one
Awww... got it completely wrong.
I thought that the 'loud noise from outside' was someone shouting out FLORENCE OAK!!'
Then everyone would know who won it.

EVERYONE knew who won? Those are some pretty observant people.
that was cool! i guessed oak thinkin OaK= Ok ....lol
Good one. I wouldn't have ever figured it out in a million years Although I disagree with some parts.
i would have never thought of that
what i thought was:-
The Hardest Riddle Ever Event is THREE (all initial letters), so guy 3, i.e. david gardner
The Hardest Riddle Ever Event is THREE (all initial letters), so guy 3, i.e. david gardner
I knew it had something to do with the capital letters and I went with Oak only because the first letters of the phrase "The Hardest Riddle Ever Event spells the word "T-H-R-E-E" and "Oak" was the only name with 3 letters.
i thought the OK had to do with oak but yeah nice riddle!
What did Ms. Oak win?
gr8....i got it ri888888888;;;;;bt i interpreted it n a wrng way:::
OK==OAK
OK==OAK
Yeah...no one really pays attention to the first letters of stuff... I got the ok thing too. Like he could be saying: Oak! Hey, now, everyone, etc. I don't think this is in the right category though... Language would be better.
I saw the 1, 2 , 3 part but I didn't really figure out what it meant.
