I've finally come up with a contest to celebrate my upcoming birthday!  There are 15 questions in total to this quiz and one will be posted each day. If there is no winner for a question, it will remain posted until a winner can be found.
Each day I will also post a word or phrase (a password if you will) of the day. The password can be found in any topic that I have posted on or edited for that day. The password will also be dated.
Do not post your answers on this topic. Please submit your answers to me via email. The first person to send the correct password and answer to the question will be the winner. Each winner will receive one darkside coin of my choice. Each person may only win once (unless they want to try for a second by giving a creative answer). Emails should be sent in the following format:
Please only answer one question per email.
Inside the email you should have
"Password:____"
"Answer:______"
From there you can write whatever you want.08/25/2007 Password for question #11: "tricky tricky" Today's Question:
IT'S OVER!
I ask that you use only your own your own brain (and not the internet) when answering these questions. You may use your friends and family's brains as well.
Also, since this will be my 20th birthday I will also be giving out 4 additional coins for the most creative answers (even if they aren't correct) - the point of these would be to try to amuse me. People who have already won one of the questions may also win one of these. Any answer you submit after you have already won will be considered a creative answer entry. You can answer a question after it has been closed if you wish to submit it in this part of the contest. The 4 most creative answers will be announced at the end.
Winners will be posted as the contest progresses. Thanks all and good luck! Solved Questions1. Write your name in the square provided. --Winner Elle Kitty
