I have no clue about the answer to question nr. 10.

If I give you a hint about question No. 10, would you stop to put answers to other questions here :whistle:

[Tulac]

He's a typical troll, a person without a life, which likes to be tedious and contradict pure human logic...

EDIT: Also if I may propose an addition to rules, that answers can't be posted in the topic, so this troll doesn't have any grounds to annoy us...

Who is that guy on the picture? I have no idea

I have answer nr. 6 ready, complete with additional text for extra score which I was about to post, but your proposition is very tempting. However, since I would be in no position to know if your answer is indeed correct (perhaps it's only a Potemkin's village to make me shut up), I'll pass.

But I must say that the anguish and the pain that I feel from Reup, plus his heart-breaking avatar, makes me feel like a really really really bad person, especially this:

You're not getting it are you? No, wait, you probably are, that's what makes this worse.

It might not be against the letter of the rule, but surely your behaviour is contradicting the very essence of this competition. You're ruining the fun for all these people. That's what's obnoxious. And you damn well know it

You are completely right.

That's why I am going to delete the remaining answer to question nr. 4 right now (if it hasn't got deleted by now...)

My guess about nr. 10 still stays though, because it is a guess, not an answer.

How can it be Maikel when he has admin rights? :crazy:

Which makes him "officially not a moderator" <-- (part of question nr. 10)

Alright, we made a slip with the rules - but the idea of a contest is to make people think and work and sweat.

Placing the answers out for everyone to see, gives us a serious headache. Not only spoils it the competition for everyone who have worked hard (and suddenly can loose to Ignorant Igor who don't have the first clue about any of the questions), but it also places me and Kosta in a serious doubt about the competition.

Should we cancel it?
So that we can prevent people to win by not knowing crap, only copy-pasting.
Do we continue it?
And have an unfair competition.

What?


The rules are pretty clear already. You can post hints in this topic, but by doing so, you aren't helping yourself. Your answers should be sent in a PM to Kosta. It shouldn't be sent or posted anywhere else.


This issue is over. Do not continue to post about it - and noone is to insult anyone on either side of the fence. Is that understood?
Good.

I will also change the rules to make it even more clear that this should not happen in the future.

Sorry, I am not really that active with moderating issues. So it can't be me

[Reup]

I would think it was a waste of your efforts to come up with decnet question if we would cancel the competition. On the other hand, you want people to put some real effort in as well... There's no way to tell how many people DID read the answers and DIDN'T report of ignore them. I can honestly say I didn't read the answers, but that might not be so for a lot of other people.
Afaik, keep up the competition, but I'm not going to participate anymore knowing my efforts might be useless because someone else Ctrl-C-Ctrl-V-'ed most of the answers.
