16 bit (65k) color doesn't make sense for the total palette. That would mean that one color component has 6 bits assigned to it while the others have 5. This in turn would mean that the GBA doesn't have any true gray colors. It's possible that they did this, but it would make games look worse than 15 bit color.
Anyway, all of the choices for that question were wrong IIRC. 16 bit color is 65536 colors, not 65535.

Yeah, I should know that there are no Flashcarts in stores, but for me I can't order online often. So I hope I can so I can get a good Flashcart, I want to win so badly, but I guessed on like two, the others took some quick research. Good luck to all though!

Now I hope they don't remove it. It was a tricky question, but I'm sure at least 30 people got it right.
If not, then I have to rely on luck that my name gets drawn.
They will remove it. I believe the staff member that already confirmed it was Thuglife back in page 11(can't remember the page# well).999roy999 said:YAY!Dragoon709 said:

Although there are technically 16 bits to define a color on the GBA, the 3 color channels, red, green, and blue only have 5 bits a piece, for a total of 15 bits. This leads to a possible 2^15 colors, or 32768. The upper bit is not used
I still expect it will be thrown out though

now that the contest is officially over, these are the questions that I had issues with and brought up with the moderators:
question 1:
neither game requires anything additional to play. they both feature something inside of the cartridge, but nothing external or what would be considered a peripheral.
question 5:
grammar. it should read "how many GBAs", not "GBA's". additionally, it is not clear as to the maximum number of GBA systems that can be connected at once or how many with a single communication cable.
question 6:
which company developer the eReader card scanning techology?
again, based on wording this is a difficult question to answer. Olympus Optical Co., Ltd. created the "dot code techology" (as well as a way to read them) that is used by the e-reader. the question would have made more sense to have it stated "which company created the technology used by the e-reader?" anyone thinking that the answer is indeed nintendo is incorrect, considering that NCL licensed the technology made by Olympus to manufacture the e-reader.
question 7:
the correct answer is 32,768, which is 15-bit rgb.
note: 65,535 is the maximum value for a 16-bit register, but the gameboy advance only has color support for 15-bits.
question 15:
grammar. it should really read "what was the name of the development house", since the answers refer to companies rather than individuals.
question 25:
grammer and spelling. it should read "which group was" and not "were" (the subject is singular) and eurasia is mis-spelled. in addition, after thug's comments, this question will probably be tossed out as well considering that many japanese releases have been posted by their [english] titles. so, truthfully, the eurasia (spelled correctly) release should have been the correct answer.
we'll see what happens when they post the results.
