Hey Mike can people come down to Bintel and watch the draw?
Yep, for sure!

Though I just found out I might have something on at work on Friday at lunch, so it'll either be Thursday this week, or Tuesday next week.

I'll let everyone know as soon as i've sorted out what i'm doing.

Guys,

The answers are released!

Competition Answers!

Please check your answers over. Now, before you post here or email/PM me with a complaint, or to ask whether you were marked right or wrong, remember the following:
  1. Only entries who scored 30/30 will go into the draw for the prizes.
  2. Check the answer in question again, do the research again.
  3. Use common sense, remember, I said I would be fairly relaxed on the marking. I've commented in the answers where more than one answer is accepted as correct.
  4. I will not be revealing who makes it to the final draw.

If you still have questions or want to debate an answer, feel free to post it here or PM me.

You have until Thursday, 11am. It's up to you if you want to tell people how many you got correct.

Thanks guys, it was a lot of fun!

I'm out of the running. I got 12 wrong I think (Darn Astonomy for Idiots!) and I misread question 21.

Maybe next time. It sure was fun though!

Not now, maybe after the draw.

Quote:
How many entrants?
About 50, off the top of my head. +/- 2.

Quote:
How many new members we got?
Impossible to tell how many new members that signed up in the last month were a direct result of the competition, the advertising in AS&T, the advertising in S&S, the article on the ASV site, or any of the other means that people find their way here.

There were only a handful of entries to the competition that were new members; that is, members who signed up after the competition was announced and then entered the competition. I was hoping there'd be a few more in that category, but as Greg B pointed out to me in a PM, at first glance, the questions look quite hard and it may have turned some people off.

However a number of entries were from older members who generally haven't posted on the forums yet - hopefully this will be a first step to getting them to contribute to the broader forum chatter and saying g'day!


To answer (publicly) a PM about the Lunar Prospector question (in-case anyone else is also wondering), if you answered both Lunar Prospector and Clementine, you were marked correct.
