The First Valentine's Day Glitch Giant Quiz! - Prizewinners announced

Announcing: The First Valentine's Day Glitch Giant Quiz!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
It's a quiz about Giants.  Duh.  

SLOGAN
Glitch Trivia: You Gotta Be In It To Win It!
(I should really trademark that) 

WHAT TO DO 
1. Go to THE QUIZ - sorry no more submissions PRIZEWINNER ANNOUNCEMENT

2. Work your way through the questions (which will challenge you to your very core) and answer them to the best of your ability.

3. Submit your answers using the submit button at the bottom of the quiz page.

4. Wait.  (Winners will be contacted and prizes will be awarded!!!)

PRIZES
I am pleased to announce that all winners will receive a prize!  

Thanks to many rich and generous donors, there are some really amazing prizes to be won!  To give you an idea of the quality goods we're dealing with, these prizes include:

- The rarest of rare cubimals!
- Icon of your favorite Giant (or the 11 emblems for you to 'iconize' yourself)!
- Currants in their raw form and in large quantities!
- "Stuff"!

RULES
1. The quiz will be open and available from 12:00AM - 12:00PM (PST) Valentine's Day.

2.  For the purposes of this quiz, a "winner" is defined as anyone answering ALL quiz questions correctly (or the most correct answers if nobody guesses them all).  Giants love winners, so get out there and win!

3. Since there may be multiple winners, prizes will be awarded in the following fashion.  After the quiz has closed, a list of winners will be determined and then randomized (using random.org).  Prizes will then be awarded to that ordered list of people based on the items fair market value.  In other words, #1 on the list gets the most valuable item, etc.

4. Limit of one entry per Glitch only please.  In the event of multiple submissions, only the first will be considered.

5. DO NOT post any answers in this thread.  Offenders will be dealt with severely (no prize for you!).  Questions are also randomized to prevent cheating :)

6. Rules are subject to change as conditions warrant.

  • PRIZE WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT

    Wow. Thanks to everyone who participated in the quiz. A total of 103 unique entries were submitted, and decidedly more than103 cores challenged!

    Prize money when all is said and done will total more than ONE MILLION CURRANTS! Thanks to all the donors who contributed.

    And now...the winners...

    *drumroll*

    There were 3 players who answered all 22 questions correctly!

    After randomization, the grand prize winner is:

    Cassandria!!!

    Yay, congrats! Top Prize of a Rube Cubimal is on its way to you

    The second two top tier prize winners are:

    Millie
    wuilyl

    In addition:

    8 players answered 21 questions. Nice.
    Lord Bacon-o
    Avery♥
    Bobby Chuckles
    ennuienta
    Anne72688
    Kalmiopsis
    Iconoclast
    ChooJeremy

    11 players answered 20 questions correctly:
    *Chameli*
    ^Emerald^
    ElleKitty
    miskey
    Miss Boxy Fancyfeet
    Kookaburra
    Adler
    Csophae
    SaSa Jack
    Firestone1960
    kastlin

    Fun fact: there were 22 questions, and 22 players who got 20 or more questions correct. Creepy.

    The 22 listed above will be contacted to discuss prizes, as you may have an option as to which prize you decide to receive. You will be happy.

    As for the 80+ rest of you...
    We decided that a poor slogan choice of "You gotta be in it to win it" could be read as meaning simply being "in it", wins something. So...

    Everyone else wins an unopened cubimal box!!!
    These will likely be sent by mail, but we may decide on a more efficient method. Either way, it may take a couple days to distribute so many cubis. Sheesh.

    The correct answers, along with a summary of responses and pretty graphs will be posted in a day or two.

  • Congrats to all the winners!  It was a tough quiz.
    Posted 10 months ago by Stormy Weather Subscriber! | Permalink
  • wow!! Can't wait to see which two questions I got wrong. Also, I agree, 22 people with 20-22 correct answers is a little creepy. Or perhaps it is synergy.

  • Wow!!  Really?!

    Thanks so much for a really, really fun quiz!

    ...kinda curious as to the '12th Giant' question - wondering just what others put - and yes, I know, you will let us know when you have had time to put all the info together - this had to be a monumental amount of work ~ and I want you to know that I appreciate all the time and effort that each of you wonderful Glitches that helped put this all together put into this to make a great and wonderful day for the world of Ur.

    Thank You!!

  • Hi all,   wow wow!!!
    I am amazed, some of it was a bit of intuition!
    It was fun though, sorting out connections, you were very sneaky sometimes! ;-)

    Thank you for the great prize, have not been in the game yet, but will be soon I hope.

    Just out of interest my 12th Giant was Trisor!  He who shouts at me in Hell!

    Thanks again for all the work.  xx

  • ANSWERS AVAILABLE:

    Ok, the answers have been posted here along with some graphs with answer distribution :)  

    The second part of the question about the odd item is in red above each picture.

    There are some formatting issues that I can't seem to sort out, mainly a bunch of <> characters by the graphs.  IE and Chrome seem to be tolerable, but other browsers could be worse.  It's not too bad, and you'll be able to read results just fine.  Sorry about that.  

    Hope you all had fun!

  • I'm very curious to know some of the thinking behind the connections. Like, I still can't figure out how Spriggan is associated with Fertilidust Lite/Intermediate Admixing, other than that you sprinkle Fertilidust Lite on trees. Or maybe that is the connection?  Same goes for the connection between piglets and Gurly Drinks. Is the Gurly Drink/Cocktail Crafting associated with Humbaba because it grants "easy animalia"? Inquiring minds want to know!

    This was fun and an interesting challenge, to try to imagine what the test-maker was thinking. Thanks for putting it together!

    I picked Trisor for the twelfth Giant, too!

  • For those in the top 22 prize winners, I have mailed those who I havent yet caught in game, please catch me on IM to select your prize.

    Ok @everyone who was to recieve an unopened cubimal box - these have all now been sent (except for one entrant whose name we cannot find in the gitch player list)

    @ sirentist you pretty much nailed it,
    Just to clarify the Spriggan one. carrots were wrong as they are a crop and thus associated with Mab, Fertilidust is only used to promote tree growth and thus associated with Srpiggan.
    Posted 10 months ago by Faereluth Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ah, thanks for explaining. I was interpreting “association” far too strictly. That was a great trick, to have the primary skill Giants be involved in the majority of answers, and then sneak a couple loosely-associated and non-skill-related Giants in there. Nicely done!

    I’m onto you now, though, and ready for the next quiz. There will be another quiz, right? When’s the next quiz? Er, no pressure, though. I mean, I know it must’ve taken a lot of time to put this one together. So I don’t mean to make it sound like I’m breathing down your neck or anything. Or hovering behind your shoulder like a cobra ready to strike. So, yeah, definitely don’t be imagining either of those scenarios. Or the combined scenario of a hovering cobra breathing down your neck waiting for the perfect moment to strike, for that matter.

    Totally patiently,
    Siren

  • Cosma is associated with barnacle talc?
    Posted 10 months ago by AwesomeCardinal2000 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • AwesomeCardinal2000 - she is the giant associated with crystalography, hence the barnacle talc.

  • Thanks for a challenging quiz (can't believe how many I missed even with the help of Encyclopedia) and thanks again for the cubimal box, you guys are too cool.
