First Ken disappears, now 2 Davids unlikely to survive - the odds are getting better.

Only another 580 to go.

Mike/All

As you are drawing out the winners in the order 1st, 2nd then 3rd is it appropriate to stipulate if you have won one prize you cant win another.
Otherwise some lucky so and so who was lucky enough to get 20 questions right could win all three.

Just a thought

Merve Hughes impersonation see above

Another comp? Oh my! The last one was a lot of fun, and I actually learnt quite a bit just answering the quiz questions. I need something to get me back into observing mode, the weather out this way hasnt been very kind for what seems like months now.

Thanks to the sponsors and Ice for putting the comp on. What a great site!

Chris,

Good point to raise.

You cannot win more than one prize, for people with multiple entries into the draw.

Another name will be drawn in the case of the same person being pulled out twice.

And btw, there are 30 questions

And thanks Simon! I hope you enjoy this one too.. the questions are easier!

Just a heads-up: The quiz will be launched at 8am tomorrow (Friday), rather than 9am as originally stated, as I have a meeting to go to so won't be at my computer at 9am.
I'm guessing people would prefer it to be launched earlier rather than later

The IceInSpace Xmas 2005 Competition is launched!

Go to the Competition Info Page and scroll down to the "Quiz Questions" section, and follow the link to the questions.

You can only submit your answers once, there's no changing them once you've pressed submit (and confirmed).

You have 2 weeks to get your entries in, and you have to be an IceInSpace forum member to take part.

Once your entry is submitted, when you go back to the questions page you'll be shown the answers that you submitted.

Enjoy, have fun and hopefully learn something!

Hi all,

I was just wondering if you would be posting the answers after the winners have been drawn. I had a ball doing the quiz and learnt a lot of new words to impress people with . It would be nice to know that I am using them right though.

Maybe this one is a bit too easy. A blind click on submit guarantees at least one entry, because there is no way that out of 30 questions none of them have choice A as the correct answer, but even getting two 'free' entries is not all that unlikely. So everyone go to the comp page and enter; even if you hate quizes and homework, just click submit and you're in with a chance. But I'll be doing my best to get all 30 answers right because the prizes are terrific.

I reckon Mike should put in a clause, If 30 answers appear as they do on the page you
should be made to wear a Goose avatar... Ken help us out here with your
photoshop skills.

Although perhaps the page should be coded so none of the options appear selected
when loaded.

regards,CS

PS: I got my in, all the best to all, thanks Mike! for another great comp.
