​

And there we have it! We leave 2019 behind us and step into 2020 with hearts full of hope and glasses full of fizzy! With the end of the year comes the end of the Tempmas season, and with the end of the Tempmas season comes the Grand Finale, a raffle to end all raffles. There will be no quizzes, no tasks, only three winners who will start the New Year with fabulous prizes.

Firstly though, we have our last event to sort out. We received many submissions, but the task was not easy. A select few of you have managed to comb through the site and find the answers, and of those who submitted the correct ones we've randomly selected three winners:

1. @smileyhead - $25 gift card of choice
2. @pLaYeR^^ - $20 gift card of choice
3. @The Real Jdbye - $15 gift card of choice

All of the participants who sent in the correct answers were naturally awarded 1 point towards the raffle which is about to begin - how exciting! Our elves have made a list and checked it twice, creating this handy leaderboard below. Each contestant received one raffle ticket per point, so naturally the highest fliers have the highest chances to win. In addition, all of our Patrons were automatically added to the raffle, as per our Patreon pledge. Without your support throughout the year we wouldn't be able to host amazing events like this - from the bottom of our hearts we thank you, as well as all of this year's sponsors.

Dang. I only got the first one wrong. feelsbadman

 

[HaloEffect17]

Congrats winners! And thank you Temp staff for putting this together! I know it must have been a ton of work. Much appreciated guys!

 

[WhiteMaze]

Congrats boys! Happy 2020!

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Oh shit, I actually WON something Didn't expect that.
Are there any statistics on how many people got the answers right? To me it seemed like even though all the answers can technically be searched for, you'd have to be a regular to know where to look for some of them. Even as a long timer, I struggled a bit with some of the answers (like the question #4 one... And to find Costello's birthday I had to search for "happy birthday costello" in the forum since his birthday is private in his profile. I just happened to remember that people used to wish him happy birthday way back when, but a non regular might not even think of that)

They were all either searchable with the Search... function, available on our Wiki or on the front page at the time, so it wasn't that bad, simply time-consuming. Most participants had at least one mistake on their answer sheet, but the exact results are kept private since we don't want anyone to feel embarrassed that they got an answer wrong or sad that they didn't go with their second or third thought instead of the first. That's also the reason why I published the total on the Leaderboard, as opposed to breaking it down into individual events, but we have those records too. On first glance I'd say that about 30% of the participants nailed it in this quiz. Each winner got assigned a number and then it was a matter of RNG - the computer favoured you, it seems.

 

[Attila13]

Good point, I totally forgot!

1. The latest feature we've launched on the site is of course The Game Center, your one-stop shop for any gaming-related information. The database is extremely expansive and we're very proud of it - we hope it will continue to grow with time.
2. There are currently 13 staff members permanently involved in content creation. Occasionally some other staffers throw in their two cents, but for this question we only considered our Chief Editor, our Senior Editor, our Reporters, Reviewers and Contributors.
3. Our comic is called Temper Tantrums, and there are 53 issues out to date. I'd really throw a tantrum in you guys got that one wrong!
4. The answer to Question #4 was of course "Banana". Why? It was the first thing that came to mind, that's why!
5. The latest series we've re-launched is of course GBAtemp Recommends!
6. @Costello and @shaunj66 actually share a birthday - the 25th of July!
7. The GBAtemp Forum was officially launched on the 24th of October 2002, we also accepted the answer of 23rd of October which is when @KiVan "joined" it.
8. The unquestioned XP leader is of course our Senior Editor @Chary, her level is 49!
9. @KiVan also happens to be the forum's first member!
10. Our first mini-competition was held in 2008, in later years the celebrations earned the moniker of "Tempmas".

So close...
I swear I wanted to include the reporters as well, but I was too focused on the question itself and didn't listen to myself.

Nice, won 20$ gift card. Do I have to contact someone or will I be contacted?

You were definitely the highest flier this year, congrats, you've definitely put the work in.

All of the winners will be contacted throughout the week, along with the winners from previous events. We're doing our best to deliver the prizes as quickly as possible.

 

[shaunj66]

Congrats to the winners!

I'm not asking for their names or anything, just the numbers (correct entries vs total entries), just out of curiosity, would be interesting to know what the odds were like.

We only have so many elves, and after Tempmas they all had to go to their usual jobs. Don't worry, they're contacting people on an individual basis, one at a time. For any inquiries you can contact me directly, it's probably quicker that way.

You're mentioned in the first post since you were part of the Patreon raffle, that might send a notification. I also initially misread the number when announcing the results and had to correct the post right quick - your number was 50, but the rolled number was 80, so if I tagged you accidentally that's my bad.
