I was able to just fine. This quiz is better, because even the QUESTIONS are cryptic and awexome.

Because there haven't been many people entering I'm changing this to be a regular giveaway. The thread title and OP have been updated to reflect this change. So if you want free stuff on Steam, post below with a number of your choosing (as long as it hasn't already been taken).

Bullshiiiiiiit. I demand to know what my score would have been, then!

Also, I don't understand how "picking a number" without any upper or lower bounds helps, but I pick Graham's Number

I choose the equation for finding a circle with a radius of ∞ - so 2*∞*π. <_<

8/10. There was the one you didn't answer which was dragons, Notch had promised there would be ones that were red and tameable. The other was a trick with 2 and 3. The questions specifically state "_____ _____ update" meaning you could either have both as Seecret Friday or Seecret Saturday.

And it's just an additional element of randomisation.
