Spring contest - Revised Result

Sun, 04 May 2008 13:42:05 GMT

There was a problem with one of the questions (#50 How many Gackt posters were there by Kawaguchi Autorace?) we had on the contest and we have decided to make that question void. Pixiezdust has pointed out that 2 quo cards were counted in the answer we had. We know that some posters were released as quo cards, but as we couldn't be one hundred percent certain that those 2 cards were released as posters, not could we say for sure that they weren't, we have decided to make this question void. All points awarded to this question have been deducted.

We have also taken out the extra 5 points we awarded Pixiezdust for her trivia question because it was from a rather rare, non-English source which we have never seen before. We should have specified what kind of questions are allowed and which ones aren't and we are sorry about that.

After recalculatting the points, here are the top three winners once again:
1st place - amaiakuyume (138)

2nd place - chiyuki88 (136)

3rd place - pixiezdust (135)

The rest of the ranking remains unchanged. Congratulations again and we will contact you soon regarding the prize! We are very sorry for the confusion! m(_ _)m

I am sure most of you have read the details regarding the contest posted on our Eien no Yume website, so I will be brief.

The deadline of the contest is Sunday night at 23:59 pm (Japan time). Remember that all entries posted after the deadline will be disregarded, so make sure that you post your answers in time! Corrections/changes/edits to your answers are of course allowed, provided they are made before the deadline is up. Simply leave a comment and say that you’d like to change the answer to question xxx to “[insert answer]”.

The points awarded to each question are written beside it. The ones with (3 x 2 = 6) usually mean that more than one answer is required. (In this case, there are two answers and 3 points are awarded for each answer.) There are 53 questions in total and the highest possible score is 155 (150 + 5 extra points). The person with the highest total score wins. ^^ We will announce the result next Wednesday, April 31st.

For those of you without LJ accounts, don’t forget to write your name/nickname and email address so that we can identify you! Anonymous answers with no name and email address will be ignored. Since all answers are screened automatically, I am afraid that those without an LJ account will not be able to view their answers/comments once it has been posted. So if you would like to make sure that we have received your answer, please send an email to sweiled@*nospam*eiennoyume.com. ^^

As for those with a LJ account, do make sure that your answer has been screened! (The area highlighting your icon and information should turn into a grey color.)

There are no specific rules regarding the format of your answer sheet. But please follow the order of the questions when writing the answer and include the question numbers.

Sample answer sheet:
1. 91890823192890
2. dinosaurs

Only questions with answers available online or in English were included, so don’t worry even if you don’t know any Japanese. If the answer involves kanji or if you know where to find the answer but can’t write the kanji or don’t know how the word is pronounced, you can take a screencap of the answer and post it along with your answer!
