Well as I promised, I'm giving away all my award credits for winning the trap17 awards. Actually these aren't all of them but I'm saving the rest for other giveaways. So anyway on with the giveaway.

I've been thinking about how exactly I should do this one. If I just made one challenge and gave away 150 credits that would make one person very happy and the other members very sad. So then I thought, why not have the first person to answer correctly win 100, second win 50, and third and fourth place winners win 25. Well this was a good idea, but still only one challenge so they would have to PM me the answers, which wasn't exactly what I wanted. So here was my solution:
Below are 30 random questions written by me. Specifically written to be very difficult if not almost impossible to use google for. Post your answers here. You can put as many answers as you like in your post. Once somebody correctly answers a question you will get no credits for that one. Every correct answer you get, you earn 5 credits. Good luck!

heh, if I wasn't already hosted I'd grab up all the programming related ones.

And I see you're trying to be tricky by using 1 instead of -1 in number 3 wink.gif

Oh, and I could be wrong, but for number 3 did you mean equals -1, not 1?


No I mean 1. A negative sign would be an operand you'd have to add tongue.gif

hah you're on top of the posts. Yeah i just edited the original one to say basically the equivalent. The math questions are fun. Remind me of highschool. I'm in art school now, so not much use for algebra.

Well, isn't this lovely smile.gif As I'm kind of lazy, and I do have a small business trip coming up, I will find a use for some credits biggrin.gif

So, to hit it off...

#2. You're the leader of the resistance cell known as Flatters, and are trying to unveil the big governmental conspiracy xd.gif Other than that, I believe you go to school, and have no other jobs...

#4. This code will put out a nice little woah

#8. Velma

#14. If I'm not mistaken, every index would be 0, except, 0, 1 and 2
#15. Again, 0, 1 and 2....
P.S.
For #14 and #15, if the array is zero-based, if not, only 1 and 2 will not change...

#20 CD/DVD image?

#24. perl -pi -e 's/cat/dog/g' text.file

#26. X.org (X11/XWindows) system resources configuration file?
