xP So true. Made a minor edit to make it a bit clearer.

Submitted. Scored 10 out of 10 for sure. I win. You can all go home now.

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).

1 to ∞.

I choose... 8!

17

I pick ten.

4 plz

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

424242424242424242424242

I choose pi to 50 s.f. (3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993) - I know this off my heart =D

The square root of -1.

27 for me

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

DISQUALIFIED! NUMBERS ONLY!

Updated entrants. And yep, Invun, I need an actual number.

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.

I pick 3, then.

25 for me.

Drawing it now instead of tomorrow because there's no point leaving it closed for a day. So, here are the results.

First Prize goes to Josh! who wins $10 to spend on the Steam store!
Second Prize goes to Teknovirus! who wins $5 to spend on the Steam store!
Third Prize goes to Shaunpat99! who also wins $5 to spend on the Steam store!

Congratulations to those who won! When you're ready to claim a prize, send me a pm with your Steam username and whatever game/s you've chosen.

For everyone else, better luck next time!

Congratz guys
