no-sweat Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 If 50,000 people played and have an equal number of points, the chance of winning a prize is 1 in 200 (0.5%) Soooo yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kackles Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 A trip into space...no friggin way..NASA has been doing it for years and recently, look how many accidents they have had. I am sure there is some liabillity waiver you sign saying you are entitled no criminal action against the company for loss of life or limb and entitled to no fiduciaryl compensation either to yourself or family should anything happen...so if one was terminally ill, this might be no so bad but I am , thus so far, pretty healthy...(thanks be to the higher power..uh, whomever or whatever that is) I will settle for any prize I dont have to pay for. The unfortunate thing is no one i know was a referral so i only got 1300 points and a letter saying tough luck, someone else beat ya to the answer for the meta puzzle (no biggie anyway). It was fun and the puzzles were extremely cool and some of them were REALLY abstract and out there but it just shows what one can do when joined by many in solving an issue...(are you listening "Mr. Prez"???)

There is some language in the rules that says that the trip is a high risk thingy, and I'm 100% they will make you sign a lenghty liability waiver.

zzzots Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 When do they email anyone about winning any of the other prizes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ices_Eyes Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 From the rules: First through Fourth Prize: The remaining potential winners will be selected from all eligible entries received in a random drawing to take place on February 1, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. (ET). And will be notified by e-mail and/or U.S. Mail or overnight delivery service within 48 hours of drawing. Winners may be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and where legal, Publicity Release within fourteen (14) days of issuance of notification. But a thing they have mistaked is that they should have provide at least the rules in all languages... (either, it is really simplier for english spoken people to solve the puzzles, but... :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nistromo Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 From the official rules I thought this bit was funny... "Winners residing in Canada will be required to correctly answer, without assistance of any kind whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question to be administered by telephone or regular mail." Thats abit unfair isnt it? Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
