PC Review Contest - April 2005 Discussion Thread

[Adywebb]

Now the answer is out, I can say I mucked up by looking at the official Reviews section which you haven't posted in - didn't realise there was a user review section in the Hardware Forum!!

And Alf - a bit cheeky with nicking my question- but I don't mind!

 

[Alf]

almost Did the same as you,
Hey thats a good question no need for it to be wasted

 

[Adywebb]

Must admit I did like the question - good its not gone to waste- shame I'm not still in to answer it!

 

[Cache-man]

I must admit I'm not too sure on that one...oh well, it may give someone else a chance...if anyone else were to actually join in.

 

[Quadophile]

Cache-man it seems to me that you have sportsman spirit I like that!

 

[Cache-man]

for chrisimrie: this one's really got me stumped.

 

[Alf]

Im sitting this contest out
to the victor, the spoils.
Good luck everyone

 

[crazylegs]

Don't do that Alf you have as much right as everyone else mate... you carry on answering questions...and you can donate the amazon voucher to me....

 

[ChrisIMRIE]

LOL Vince,

I sat there for a good few minutes making that question up, just to puzzle everyone.

I did give a hint, May 2004

I'm not giving much more away, defeats the point of it being a tricky question

 

[Becky]

Ha ha! Beat your tuff one

The aim of the game is to get as many answers as possible, not to stump everyone - if no-one can get your questions, then you won't be able to answer any new questions!

 

[Quadophile]

What is the matter? Looks like everyone has already given up on the contest, I am afraid contest is not something members want, if so why not express it on the thread.

Hey I just put an answer in the last comp thread and then saw this thread and realised I was too late to enter...or am I? I been away so long i don't know what's goin on

 

[Becky]

I guess it just got forgotten!

 

[Cache-man]

I didn't give up, I was just really stumped by the last question, so I thought I'd wait for someone else to answer it....and then nobody did, until today, but then they didn't post a question...or did they?

I read the rules and I thought the last question didn't relate to this site in any way (so it might have broke the rules, if u see what I mean). I tried to answer it anyway and i believe my answer was correct. (the one about the animal brains and the aircraft)...

I then thought i should ask a question relating to the site/forum but didn't want to make it too obvious as a question as i was drunk at the time and didn't really know what i was doing....so...i sort of asked a question about the site...that is:

Is the competiion over? ...theoretically, if someone said:


Answer: No
Question... and then made another question up, then the comp would continue...but it didn't...does that mean I win???

Hey Ian, waddya reckon m8???

 

[Becky]

Oh dear

I thought it was reletively simple, because if you typed 'brains' into the forum search it comes up on the first page!

 

[Ian]

Hey Ian, waddya reckon m8???

Its all up to Quad, he is the quizmaster

I edited the last post before I read this thread, but you can go back and edit it out and make a new question up if you want

 

[Quadophile]

As I see it a wrong question and a wrong answer are both candidates for a disqualification The rules did say the question must relate to PC Review. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong

 

[Becky]

Does that mean I'm out?

I thought that seeing as the question was a PCR thread, it was ok... oops! I was only trying to move it along as well, how ironic!

 

[Quadophile]

I hate to say things like "You are out", I will leave it to the participants own judgement to make the decision. I am not following that thread, just waiting for the 51st post so that I can announce the winner.
