Damn, the questions in a trivia contest put on by a record company are actually...(*gasp*) HARD for once.

...I give up.

Patrick,

How is the response to the Trivia contest? Some really tough questions on there!

Just curious,

Let's see...

I'd say yes, we've had a good response so far. Over 20 entries since we launched at the end of last week, mostly of very good quality!

Has anyone got all nine questions correct yet?

I know the guy from Fluxblog has 8 of the 9, so I'd say the odds are good they'll be at least a few all-righters.

I figured all the answers out and sent them in on Saturday. Hopefully (fingers crossed) they were all right. :)

How do they judge who wins? Is it the first person to submit all the right answers? Or is there a drawing of some sort?

Curious.

This doesn't seem to work for me right now - it is giving me an error

Ooops!!
Error : Can't execute INSERT INTO gen_users
(and then a bit of code with all my answers in)

when I try to submit my response. Is this goingt o be fixed? I clicked on submit quite a few times but the same thing happened. Sorry if that was making things worse. Not sure whether my answers have been entered or not. Help!!

Hi guys,

We'll probably have the drawing in another week.

matth, I've forwarded your problem on to our hosts... everyone else seems to be able to do it... what browser and platform are you on?

Patrick:

So this will be a drawing, is that correct? Take all the entries, draw the first one with all the right answers...or something like that?
Patrick

I believe we will separate out all the ones with correct answers and draw from those. If there are none with correct answers, then we will select the one with the most correct answers, etc.

Patrick,

it appears that the problem only happens if you opt to join the mailing list when doing your entry. i re-did it without choosing to join the mailing list and it went through fine. either that or it is fixed now. i am using internet explorer 5 on a pc.

Thanks matth - will forward that on.

Goddammit, when I tried it a few weeks ago, I got to the 2nd or 3rd question and I gave up. Sheesh, not TOO hard, guys.

so, what about the announcement of the winners?

Not sure...the winners (or winner) was suppose to be announced last Friday.

Sorry, still working out the details of some of the answers with Stephen - some people came up with more than 7 other bands he's been in besides the Jicks, and we need to verify which ones are correct!

Very soon, I promise.
