We have two prizes: One for TFFE members and one for crunchers outside of our team. The Quiz: How Many Biccies in My Bowl? It's a bit of fun. Simply post the number of 'doggy biscuits' you think are in the red bowl. (Clue: There are more than 100 and less than 500.) The prizes: There are two of these lovely doggies up for grabs: Mechanical USB Dogs (Love Your USB Ports!!!) (Who said computing should be dignified :o)~ ) Rules: The competition ends at midnight (GMT -0) on Friday 30th of May 2008. You can only make one guess per post. (Maximum number of guesses per person is 3. Your last posted guess will be the one entered into the competition.) There are two prizes: One will be won by a member of TFFE and the other will be won by someone from outside TFFE. (@Members of TFFE: You can add your entry on whichever site you wish but your entry will be treated as if it was made on the TFFE forum.) All guesses must be marked / indicated. (EG: "My guess is xxx".....). The winners will be those who give the nearest or correct guess. In the event of a tie-break the persons who post first (time and date wise) will win. Winners: The correct answer to the competition is held in a passworded RAR file that can be downloaded here. The correct answer will also be given at the end of the competition along with the password to the RAR file. === Have a go. Naughty But Nice :o) . ID: 757404 ·
