[img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img] Winner of the August IW Trivia Contest! [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img]

Special acknowledgement goes to S Tam, a newcomer who joined the contest and won the final match of August. See... anyone can just jump in, do well, and be recognized!


For those interested, a new tournament has just started, and everyone's back to zero. Come on and join us at the IW Trivia Contest to see how well you can do! There's no charge to sign up or play, and you'll get the opportunity every day to show off your knowledge of things that aren't really useful at all!

Is this anything like the original IW trivia contest that was really easy to cheat in?

Yep.... but if you cheat, it shows in your score and your time...

If it takes you much more than a hundred seconds, we all know what you're doing...

Actually, didn't it mean you were cheating if it took less than a minute to complete with a 10/10 score? ie Refreshing the page? Or has that been fixed?

Hmmm... I wasn't smart enough to figure out that cheat [img]smile.gif[/img]

However, we get a lot of legit 10/10 scores that are less than a minute. I got 33 seconds once, only to have Aelia beat me with 29...

I must admit the topic worked somewhat in my favour.

I just went and had a crack at it, it was pretty good actually!

are the questions random, e.g can you play more than once? i would like to try improve, but if the questions are the same, its cheating, not what i want to do.

What is the deal how many times can you play a day?

I forgot it was a race I should have stopped work for it. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

And as usual I came at the bottom of the Permanent Five (that's bungleau, Aelia, machinehead, sagerider and me). grrr.. this month it will change.

EDIT: Congrats Aelia!! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

EDIT 2: Captain Obvious, Mack Attack, it is a daily tournament. A new tournament every day and at the end of the month points add up. Questions are random from the chosen category.
And the cheating bug has been fixed quite some time ago.

Lol, Permanent Five - I like that. The UK questions killed me last month. Congrats to Aelia!
