hey there trapsters,

you may remember me as being a very active trap17 poster last year. sadly, this year i have found myself buried in homework, and i have literally no time to work on my website, so there really is no point in upkeeping it by paying credits. they're credits gone to waste.

so here's whats gonna happen: im gonna give away probably the largest amount of credits ever given away on trap17: 200 CREDITS!!!

what do you have to do to win this?

it's simple: attempt to answer the following 13-question quizzes. there will be one each day. in the end, points will be added up. without further ado...

1. what is my full name?

2. what suburb in sydney am i from?

3. when is my birthday?

4. what size ipod touch do i have?

5. what is the only social site i use (and love dearly)?

6. how many grains of rice have i donated to combat world hunger?

7. which programming language am i best at?

8. at the time of me having finished editing this post, how many credits do i have?

9. which operating system do i use?

10. what is my most-used piece of software?

11. what text does the following output?:

CODE

#include <cstdio>
#include <string>

int main()

{
string s = "hello kitty";
FILE *fileIO;

fileIO = fopen ("output.txt", "w");
fprintf (fileIO, "%s", s);
fclose (fileIO);

cout << "hello world";

SYSTEM (PAUSE);
}

12. what do you call a donkey with three legs?

13. a man is trying to hook his colleague up, and when his colleague finally meets his date, he asks: "why did you get me a date with a mushroom?". the man then replies: "????????"

more of the quiz to come soon...

also, i like making new friends, so i am looking forward to getting to know the winner of this comp better

this is open to all members of trap17. the comp finishes on the 13th of september, 13 being my favourite number. it was also the age during which i joined trap17

good luck trapsters!!!

5. Facebook
6. None
7. C++

10. Firefox (your browser)
11. hello world
12. A stupid stubborn animal with too many legs anyway
13. "So you can see women are ugly and I am beautiful ;;)"


It would be nice if you would somehow split the points. I mean, something like 100 1st prize, 60 the 2nd and 40 the 3rd.
Because if you get tens of people answering 9 quizzes of 13 questions, it would be kind of akward that only one of them gets something out of it.
Cheers!
