[DarkTemplol]

I thought it was a good prize

[Light]

Yeah, it sure f-ing is!!! OMGWTFUSSR

[Meee]

I think the time is against me on this one

[coreyb]

What? Its monday for me NOW! So I guess next week?

[Chax424]

Woa. Big money. Sounds good to me. Very kind.

[EonMaster]

Woah, thats a lot of minerals!

Let's see....that is 5PM of me on the 19. What luck, no school and ts in the middle of the afternoon ;D
Time to get my google skills up to par, and maybe dogpile as well.

[DarkTemplol]

Questions will be posted in about an hour and forty minutes, 6:00.

[Light]

That means midnight for me :P well I guess Im not that good at music anyway. Good luck to all.

[Meee]

same here, I'll check on results in the (my) morning

[EonMaster]

I also don't know much about music. Good thing we can use google, hopefully that will help.

[DarkTemplol]

FYI, unless you play guitar, and know alot of music trivia, Google/Wiki will be your best friend. About 40 minutes to go.

They'll be 15 questions by the way.

[EonMaster]

At least we can use google/Wiki. I don't play guitar and have very limited music trivia. It will be interesting to see how hard the questions will be.

[-LT-]

So it starts in 40 minutes?

[DarkTemplol]

Questions are posted, best of luck to all.

[Gasmaskguy]

Done.

[ssjfox]

hmm wonder whos right than, I sent mine about 5 minutes ago but I think I'm wrong on one of them.

[EonMaster]

noo you just barely beat me!!!

[ssjfox]

lol.... I could be wrong eon as could you, you guys shouldn't worry about time so much. This is a mineral hunt.

[EonMaster]

But only the first person to get them right wins.

The tuning on took a while for me to do. Wikipedia was the best tool I could have asked for, besides a cheat sheet with all the answers on it.

[Gasmaskguy]

It's annoying. I discovered this thread about 10 minutes after he posted all the questions.

[EonMaster]

And you still submitted before me? I started right after he posted, but some of them took a lot of searching on wiki to find...

[Gasmaskguy]

It took me about 20-25 minutes, I guess.

[EonMaster]

Took me about 35. The tuning question took me almost 10 minutes because I couldn't find anything useful on wiki and had to use google.

[DarkTemplol]

Contest is over, and I'm happy to say that everyone who entered got some minerals out of it, thanks to LordKerwyn's generousity. :D

LordK submitted his answers first, but asked me to distribute the minerals. He asked for 7000, and for me to give 2000 to second place, and 1000 to third. I figured I still had some money kicking around in the bank, so I added some onto the total.

The way the standings broke down is...
LordK won 7000
ssjfox won 3000, 2k from Lord, and an additional 1k from me.
Gasmaksguy, ShdwyTemplar, and Eon Master each got 1k, 2000 from me, and 1000 from LordK.

I hope you all had fun. Some of the questions were a bit tough, and everyone who entered deserved something. Thanks alot for playing, and if I happen to get another 10000 minerals some time, I hope we can do it again.

[Gasmaskguy]

Thanks! :)
