I am so excited about the just released UVMapperPro software by Steve Cox that I wanted to provide an opportunity for someone out there in R'osity Land who maybe can't cough up $50 right now to win a copy. So, I held a little quiz.
The winner was "cooler."

Not everyone really had enough notice to participate so I said to myself,

"Self, do it again."

That's why I'm re-posting this here because the original is now buried about 60 threads down the list.

;=]

Thats about 4 or 5 clock in the morning here in germany:-(( But I bought pro yesterday .So I wish all good luck. The winner will recieve a very useful utility .The lasso-selection is great.Makes grouping so easy!!

DON'T GO! yet! ;=]

No fair thats about 5.30 am here in England. Still I can't figure out Q2 anyway. :o(

yeah thats not too fair really...the time zone differences n all.. oh well :)

How do you make it completely FAIR for the whole world? ;=]

... everyone in the world who is logged in is looking at the same clock. ;=]

... there will be 24 different cut-off times; one for each time zone in the world and then I'll just stay up for 24 hours to check the replies when they come in and then I'll ............... You gotta be kidding, I am! <-----[kidding, that is] ;=]

I already have it, and it is wonderful, I wish you all luck to win it. Sharen

There's one further problem... I just found out I'm being dragged off to a friend's tonight... won't be able to send off the answers. sigh I'll just have to pray that he someday decides to broker it here...

Hey no fair ... how'd you get RST on your clock. Mine's set to CST. she who is in Australia and doesn't even know what RST is LOL

OK, I got answers but my clock is CST also (Texas) so what is RST??????

Renderosity Standard Time! Hey Geep does that count for an answer to a question!?! :P

......... it doesn't because ... reprinted from above with permission by me ;=] "[RST = Renderosity Standard Time - look in the upper right hand corner of your screen]" ... it was part of the "instructions." ;=] People gotta learn ta read the "fine print". N'est pas? ;=]

Geep, the last few times I tried your email address, the emails were returned. So I gave up. Oh well, I can't figure out the answers anyway.

... it WASN'T even IN the fine print! ;=]

That %#^@%$#&%#$ emailman must be on strike again. Sorry! ;=[

Is that an African swallow or a European swallow? :) Very generous. Hey, it's your contest, you can make the rules. Folks will just have to set their alarm clocks, eh? Interesting second question. Think I got it figured out, but I'll be sleeping then. Good fun. Hope you post the answers tomorrow. jon

Well, I'm back... just in time to ready my e-mail to send!!!

Geep, I sent you a test email (I don't have the answers to your contest questions.) So far, your email has not been returned. So who knows, maybe they fixed the problem.

Oh, should we also include how we arrived at our answers?

SENT!

... I'm reviewing them.

I will post the winner and the correct answers here in about 10 minutes.

cheers,
dr geep <-----------------------(checkin' them answers)
;=]

No one! Sorry. ;=[ Six entries were received and most got 2 out of 3 correct but nobody got all three answers correct. The correct answers are: ************************************************* QUESTION #1 - The correct answer is "26." take the first number and square it, then add 1 0 squared = 0 + 1 = 1 1 squared = 1 + 1 = 2 2 squared = 4 + 1 = 5 5 squared = 25 + 1 + 26 ************************************************* QUESTION #2 - The correct answer is "D." G enesis E xodus L eviticus N umbers D euteronomy ************************************************* QUESTION #3 - The correct answer is "white." The man's cabin is at the North Pole. If he walks south, then west, then north, he ends up exactly where he started; so the bear must be white. ************************************************* Since nobody won, I'll consider running another contest if anyone is interested. [shut-up geep, you just saved fifty bucks] Oh, oh! Thanks to all who participated. Better luck next time. cheers, dr geep <----------------------- (waiting for the "boo's" - or was it booze?) ;=]

I would have only gotten the third one right. ;)

Dammit, I knew I got the first one wrong seconds after I sent my entry, and saw that "3" was not on the list of numbers...

I am she says timidly I felt like an idiot, when I only guessed the color of the bear. 'Course the next one probably won't be any easier, but that's ok :) It makes for an interesting thread, and it's incredibly generous.

Thanks, judith, and ..... Ya never know ... ;=]

... 'cept on different subjects! N'est pas? ;=]

oui :)

1. What is the next number in this sequence? 0,1,2,5,? One could argue that theres another approach to the solution here. From 0 to 1: 1 From 1 to 2: 1 From 2 to 5: 3 From 5 to 8: 3 So another possible answer could be 8. (Sorry, former mathematics student who got caught in the snares of fine arts.....)

or it could be "10" <---- if next two additions are "5" i.e., the number to add is: ... 1 1 3 3 5 5 7 7 etc. ...no? I don't know .... odd # progression?

Great contest Geep, I got 1 & 3 right but my knowledge of the bible is Zilch! Baz

It makes for an interesting thread, and it's incredibly generous. agreed, thanks again geep :) I only got #3 right too %}

Thanks, April. Maybe next time! ;=]

Number 3 I knew (nice old chestnut), and number 1 was figured out as soon as I realized that it wasn't the Fibonacci sequence... but number 2? Not everyone remembers the names of those books... and questions which require reasoning rather than memory or special knowledge are more fair in a global community. Also, some folks only log on once a day... so a bit of lead time while give more people an opportunity. All that said, you are being very generous, and we seem to like contests and surprises so even the folks who don't win can have fun playing along. Carolly

sequence this: J,F,M,A next letter? :) got no prize, just having fun, i'll clap though :D

M

;=]

clap clap :)

... only two? ;=]

Well I too only got the third one right. Tought I had them all. Differnt logic leads to differnet results. But since I was snoozing, it was just academic for me. Guess I flunked. :) This was fun. jon
