Best of luck.

I'm assuming that the fact that this thread is unlocked implies we are allowed to post here...

About #1. Are we supposed to take decimal id times decimal id and then convert to hex, or take the hexadecimal representation of their IDs? (i.e if the id was 400, you would multiply by hex 400)

This just seems like a point of the quiz that could use clarification.

Convert everything to hex. The initial IDs and the final answer should all be in hex.

Question: Do have to answer every question? Or do we just answer ones we know and get the unanswered ones wrong...

I have a question, are there going to be emblems and trophies based on what place that you come in?

Edit: never mind.

You can answer as many as you want, and leave as many as you want blank.



Depends on how generous I'm feeling at the end of the MGD events. Obviously, the winners will get special trophies, but people who simply participated in any of the events might get something as well.

Is it possible to change our answers after we have submitted them? I have obviously realized that I misread the first question, and I would very much enjoy possessing the ability to change said answer.

FUCK KILL STEAL SHIT

Funny thing is I did the exact same thing and sent a fix-up PM to SNN about 5 minutes after. I had a stupid moment where I thought product was addition where it's actually multiplication.

He didn't send a "yeah it's okay" PM though.

...I did the exact same thing, Blu...

I feel better about my mistake, now that I know I'm not the only one who made it.

Geez people, learn to double check your answers. Isn't that something basic you learn at school?

Oh what, I didn't even know what product meant. Vocabulary fail.

Great that's one definite wrong answer. >_>

My blog. I could post stuff now and then

My Assembly for the SNES tutorial (it's actually finished now!)

The amount of people who failed at question 1 is extremely amusing for some reason.

I've gotten about 30 submissions, and like, 4 people got the first one right. It's quite lol.

Yes, I've been accepting answer changes.

Funny, I thought I'd be the only one being dumb enough to think of addition instead of multiplication. XD

But I bet my fixed answer for #1 is still wrong, haha.

Well I guess this is punishment for not taking math this year.

So, SNN, on question 1, do we have to list the user IDs for question 1 along with their product? I didn't list them in hex, so...I'm just wondering if not doing that will make me automatically lose the question.

I still think there's a small discrepancy with the first problem.

Let's say that the two people are are this guy and this guy. Is the answer 0x600 (0x30*0x20), or is it 0x258(30*20)? I ask this only because both the answers could be derived from your explanation of the problem.
