TRIVIA QUIZ!
Trivia Quiz # 1: Troubleshooters Incorporated!
There is one Grand Prize for Trivia Quiz # 1 -- a signed ARC (Advance Review Copy) or paperback release of GONE TOO FAR (your choice!), and an autographed "Troubleshooters Incorporated" book bag with the following logo:
TROUBLESHOOTERS
Incorporated
We'll be using the exact same rules that we used for the trivia quizzes during the countdown to GONE TOO FAR:
1) Participants must email their numbered answers to my special trivia quiz email address: BrockmannS@aol.com (NOTE: This is different than my regular email address!!!) Entries must BE RECEIVED by 10:00 a.m. ET, March 8th, 2004 at this email address only. (NOTE: Go, go, go! <g> The clock is running!) We are not responsible for entries that were not received due to cyberspace SNAFUs or delays, or entries sent to a different email address.
2) The final "trivia" question is "Pick a number from 1 to 100." This question will be used if more than one entry gets all the real trivia questions correct. (And I expect that to be the case, cuz you guys are smart! See, there's only one Grand Prize, and if 300 people answer all of the questions correctly... well, you see why we have to do this!) If no one picks the exact number for the final question, the winner will be the person who has chosen the closest number. If two people surround the winning number, the winner will be the next highest number. (Example: Say I've picked 89 as the winning number, and none of the entrants select 89, but someone chooses 88 and some one chooses 90. 90 wins. Okay?) (I just want to make this clear from the start so there are no hurt feelings and no cries of "No fair!") If six people all choose the winning number, then we will have a drawing for the Grand Prize -- I'll put all six names into a hat, close my eyes and pick one. The other five will get an honorable mention listing here on my website!
3) The Grand Prize Winner of Trivia Quiz # 1 will be announced on the countdown page for March 9th!
4) Winner must provide their snail mail address to receive the Grand Prize via snail mail!
5) Only one entry per person/email address, please!
