This contest originated as
a MacSurvivor
challenge, and then opened up to the entire Mac Guild membership. This challenged
consisted of 40 questions, provided in random order, on subjects ranging from Mac
technical trivia, to Mac Guild reviews, to MacSurvivor trivia. Each contestant received
5 points for each correct answer and -1 point for each incorrect answer. You only
qualified for a prize if you answered all 40 questions. Questions are also timed,
and in the event of a tie, the one with the best time wins.
The contest was broken into two phases. The first phase was conducted over a 24
hour period. The top score of those that took the quiz over this 24 hour period
wins a Matias Tactile Pro keyboard and a Gold membership to the Mac Guild. The 2nd
highest score wins a Silver membership to the Mac Guild.
The second phase was conducted over 7 days. All that completed the quiz during these
7 days receives an automatic lurker membership and is entered into the Elite Minds
