The Contest for Knowledge is officially on over at Gamer Escape, and the prizes are copies of the Encyclopædia Eorzea purchased at Fan Festival 2016! There will be three winners in all, and the grand prize copy is autographed by all three authors (Banri Oda, Koji Fox, and Natsuko Ishikawa) as well as Yoshi-P himself.
The playing field favors the loremongers (and those willing to put in a little elbow grease) just a tad, as the the entry form itself is a fourteen-question lore quiz. Not too easy, not really difficult, just a little tricky. Time probably isn't a factor, right? Look around if you're unsure!
The die will be cast for all entries with the highest scores and winners selected at random.
Best of luck!

Unfortunately...
IIRC there was once this incident with a puzzle won by someone in New Zealand that had them repairing kettles for a while...Quote:
Contest is open to residents of North America.

Hmmm, I got almost all of them on a first look, but I won't submit it until I can be sure I got all of them. You sure you made it hard enough?

11-15-2016, 10:35 PMAnonymooseDepending on who's giving the commentary, it's difficulty is rated all over the place; total bell curve coverage of "It was pretty easy." to "It was mercilessly hard." It's meant to be a few gimmies, a few double-checks, and a maybe two or three "Maybe I should look into this for a bit." But that's coming from someone who's been archiving all of the things since 2010, so I'm sure that as long as I'm thinking about it, I'll be torturing myself over it. All I can do is pray that who wins the prize will actually treasure it, even if statistics are against me when it comes to a contest on the internet.Quote:

The quiz gets replaced with an ad after like 2 seconds. Tried in both microsoft edge and chrome, same thing happens.

I selected the view your accuracy thing, not sure but I think it said I got 100% correct. Just have to hope for the best!
