Oh snap, wasnt sure on the hello kitty one!
I guessed, most likely correct.
Also on the last one...
BUT i asked my brother, who is upto date with those things!
Is that cheating?

I doubt it's cheating. Even if it is.. its not like they would have known you asked your brother, well, now they do lol. That's why I'm wondering if asking a fellow temper that participated/not participating is considered cheating.

so does that mean we have to pay to ship because it says "custom charge (if applicable) must be paid for by recipient.

Probably means anything outside of the shipping cost. Or if the shipping cost is too expensive. I doubt we're paying for shipping fee.. I think. But hey, even shipping fee still makes it an incredibly cheap Acekard.

 

[ubersk8kid]

i guessed on so much

i had to grab my old gameboy and compare the screens with my DS

i hope i got it right

the second last question confused me though. Refer as in was made by the same company, or as in relates to another?

 

[BakuFunn]

CRAP i got one of the questions wrong!!
I just realized!
DAMN IT
Now to hope that i will still win

[megabug7]

I'm quite confident I got all question right...

One however was quite tricky..........

 

[deathfisaro]

Just finished the quiz. I like how this time all questions have the first choice as default answers, for last time I didn't answer some questions because I missed them.

 

[Paralel]

Damn, I can't believe they are keeping it open for 2 weeks. There will be 1000's of entries, possibly 10's of 1000's of entries. I was hoping they would keep it short, 24-48 hours should be more than enough.

No one mind me, I just really wanted a good chance at winning one.

 

[masvill20]

Just finished the quiz, and it was actually quite easy save for 5 questions which made my head hurt. Hope I can win!

Researching your answers isn't cheating. If admins wanted to avoid that, they could just add a timer.
Obviously, even that method is bypassable. Change or mask your IP, register a new account, print out the quiz before timer runs out and solve it. Unmask your IP, use your main account and solve the quiz.
Of course, even that can be avoided by adding some kind of a limit (i.e. quiz disabled for new users or a certain short timeframe in which the test is available), etc.

But why bother? There will always be people who will try to play dirty for even a sum of 30 bucks. Instead, throw in some tough questions (like GBAtemp did) that aren't easy to answer even with the help of Google (not impossible though - sometimes, if you can't find what you're looking for, you just need to change your approach to the problem

).

I myself answered all of the questions on my own, then did some research to make sure I was right. Used several sources too. And I don't think anything's wrong with that. It's just plain fun, I don't care if I don't win. What IS a bit revolting, is someone (it's quite possible that's not Warm Wooly Sheep's work, since he's just a forum troll and a very good one at that) intentionally modifying the common sources of information in order to improve his chances of winning. That's just low and that person should be ashamed of himself.

I'm not asking for an answer but on question 24 when it says "Acekard+" as one of the answers does it mean all the iterations of all the different Acekards or one that is specifically named "Acekard+"?

 

[Gaisuto]

...(it's quite possible that's not Warm Wooly Sheep's work, since he's just a forum troll and a very good one at that)...

Nah, it was him. The two IPs matched.

it means if theres a cart called that

 

[Paralel]

I fixed the Wikipedia article that was vandalized by a troll so it now reflects the correct information that was previously present.

It's completely retarded that people do things like that.
