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.

  • I had great difficulty with 2 of the questions actually. I just hope I got them right or The Hendarchy might decide to chose another Primus Inter Pares.

  • Challenging! And fun!

  • That really was challenging...   I do hope that after the quiz is closed, you'll post up the answers because the thought processes involved were really ... challenging!  My brain hurts.  Which Giant takes care of that?  Friendly, right.  Hooch for me!

  • Ooooo - this is wonderful. I have not played yet, because I need to get some more coffee under my belt to charge my synapses.

    What a awesomely glitchy thing to offer us - thank you to all involved!

  • Stickying this because whoa, this is awesome. I'm only two questions in and my brain hurts already. Well done!
    Posted 10 months ago by Blanky Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Is Blanky the 12th giant? Because she is darn awesome.
    Posted 10 months ago by Kookaburra Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Woot! Nice going Faereluth; even the staff likes it.
    Posted 10 months ago by Sweet Stuff Ng Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I liked this quiz, but for some, I think there could've been multiple answers though. I could be wrong. I gave it my best shot, we'll see what happens.

  • wow very cool, good idea :)
    Posted 10 months ago by Muncey Mango Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That was awesome!  Great fun!  Thank you for putting it together!!

  • Awesome Idea, the blog looks great, too. Try Clicking anywhere and there will be hearts that pop out.

  • brain ... *twitch*...hurts ....

    still wondering how to answer the tinker tool one since there were 4 items ......
    Posted 10 months ago by BlackWolf Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This is a lot harder than I thought.
    Posted 10 months ago by Rook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I loved the hearty clicks. 

    You should probably pull me from the winners list, if my name is there. I used my super-ultra professional college student skills and completed this test "open book." Bad, I know, but it's a hard-learned academic reflex. There's no way I could have done this quiz with my brain all by itself - it's a good one!

  • Quizzes are hard! But, this is still cool, tx :)
    Posted 10 months ago by crazybat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Wow, this was really fun! Thanks for putting it together :D
    Posted 10 months ago by madance4 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I answered the questions...but never got to hit submit.  Hope I is entered.  :)
    Posted 10 months ago by MikkiO Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thanks, that was fun! Just wanted to warn people though not to write in an answer and then hit 'enter' or it will be count as your sole entry. Tabbing to the next answer works better :)
    Posted 10 months ago by N2ZOrtolanaBlue Subscriber! | Permalink
  • What happens if you get the last question wrong?
    Posted 10 months ago by AwesomeCardinal2000 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • MikkiO - I don't see your response :(
    You may want to resubmit.

    Bruja - yeah we'll make sure that your second entry will be the one we count.

    AwesomeCardinal2000 - the last question Q12 is just for fun. No penalty or benefit, though we might get some fun data from it that we'll share :)
    Posted 10 months ago by Joe Blow Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I was afraid about the last question too. Whew!
    Posted 10 months ago by Sweet Stuff Ng Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Fun! :D
    Posted 10 months ago by Csophae Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yay, thanks so much for this! Funnn!
    Posted 10 months ago by SeerQueen Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well I put in "Magic Rock"
    Posted 10 months ago by AwesomeCardinal2000 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Lol Blanky, my brain hurts too.  Some of the items I had not a clue to and, I admit, I cheated and looked at the Encyclopedia.  I still had no idea.
    Posted 10 months ago by Brib Annie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Wait, are people still taking the quiz? I thought it closed at 12:00 PM (noon) PST? 

    I didn't hear about it until just a few minutes before what I thought was closing time so I totally whipped through it, clicking madly to get it in by 11:59 AM PST!

  • *AHEM*

    I, Mal'akh, Primate of Lem, Primus Inter Pares of the Orthodox Church of the Giants of Ur, Hubby of Aranna, Shriner of Mullangi Meda, hereby declare that any Orthodox Glitchen of The Hendarchy that wins this quiz shall receive from me a bigger bag of Awesome Stew and (s)he shall be elevated as an honorary Primus of The Hendarchy if (s)he is not one already.

  • Oops, this was my fault as I set the start/end times!

    I sometimes like to play a little game irl where I swap AM for PM...or even PM for AM on even days. Ya know, to keep myself on my toes. I lost the game this time. Although somewhat implied somewhere in there...is that it's open on Valentine's Day PST from start to finish.

    I literally hate being taken literally.

    If you feel that you were ripped off and want your money back, I'll be happy to cut you a check. Oh wait...

    ETA: wow Sirentist you just barely made it to the perceived noon cutoff time...by 29 seconds! Seriously, if anyone who felt like they were pressured by time, and who submitted their answers within 15 minutes of noon PST wants to resubmit their answers, we will allow it. That's five people by my count. If so, IM me in game or post here :)

    Sorry for the confusion.

    A list of winners will be posted in this thread tomorrow in the AM...or is it PM...tomorrow.

  • Heh, even the staff like it! Feel honored :) I found it to be almost conflicting! Often times it seemed to me that there were two giants who were involved in two of the items :) I went with whichever giant was 'more' involved based on... My own particular thought process ;) But I'm still not sure how I did!
    Posted 10 months ago by Liza Throttlebottom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @liza same but I won't reveal which one I thought was correct
    Posted 10 months ago by AwesomeCardinal2000 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I just completed the quiz then! Was my entry too late? D:
    Posted 10 months ago by Navocado Subscriber! | Permalink
  • did it a few hours ago, late?!
    Posted 10 months ago by GiaTori Subscriber! | Permalink
  • It's open for another six hours. The initial post was meant to say it would open from midnight to midnight. 24 hours, not 12. :)
    Posted 10 months ago by Csophae Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Okay, I have to admit I feel inordinately proud of how close to the deadline my submission was. 

    Even if it was a totally fake LIE of a deadline, hmph.

    *scowls in every direction at once*
    Posted 10 months ago by Sirentist Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm glad the deadline was midnight, but I was going to answer anyway. Totally cool quiz!!!
    Posted 10 months ago by kastlin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This was awesome!  I think I may have accidentally submitted more than one time; I hit enter after typing in the Giants' names a few times and it may have submitted. ><

    But anyway, fabulous game! :D
    Posted 10 months ago by Scarlett Bearsdale Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Great little quiz, had to wake up this old brain of mine and think a bit. Very well put together, thanks bunches.
    Posted 10 months ago by miskey Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Okay, I just did it again, and this time was even MORE HORRIBLE than the first time, when I had to zoom through it all pressured and stuff. This time I TOTALLY AGONIZED over every last thing: Hm, should I trust the official Glitch info? Or the wiki? These sources give conflicting information! What did the person who created the test trust? I should try to think like a test-maker. Hm. Is Giant distribution important? Surely every Giant must be included. I can do this by process of elimination. No ... that's too obvious. If I were a test-maker I'd totally throw two of the same Giant in there just to mess with people.  How "associated" does a Giant have to be, exactly? Okay, I'm over-thinking this. I should just go with my intuition. What did my intuition say again? Oh no, where did my intuition go? WHY AM I DOING THIS.
    Posted 10 months ago by Sirentist Subscriber! | Permalink
  • LOL Sirentist! I definitely agonized over 11 (real) questions = 11 giants?? when I ended up with two having the same answer.
    Posted 10 months ago by Csophae Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The quiz is now closed
    Thanks to everyone who took part.
    This thread will be updated with a list of our prize winners and they will be contacted n game to recieve their prizes.
    Posted 10 months ago by Faereluth Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Goshdarnit! I just submitted the form, only to have it tell me it's not accepting answers anymore. Oh well.
    Posted 10 months ago by Boom and Bust Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I researched for about 2 hours yesterday and this still blew my mind! I didn't send in my answers, since they would probably all be wrong, but I looked at like you would a "practice test". What a fantastic learning exercise for a new glitch. Thanks for creating it! :)
    Posted 10 months ago by Ackmena Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Dagnabbit, Boogernuggets, Poop!!!!  I missed it!  I think I did really good too.  Oh well, next time.  :P
