What kind of arbitrary list of countries is that?!
Oh well, I guess I should be glad that someone in Europe will be able to enter... *grumbles*
YAY, finally a competition I can enter....and have.
If I win, I'd love to see what Shogun 2 will look like with a new graphics card. Either that or I look forward to seeing the amount of smoke that comes out of my pc when I install this thing.
Catchy Slogan: Why do I get the feeling that I just willingly watched an advertisement?
Because you have. This contest just made sure you paid attention to the same ad that's been playing all week before videos and stuff. Good marketing in my opinion.

Yeah I love how it gets more obscure Romania WTF? What about Fictionesia? In all serious I wish I could partake in this...
Is anyone else having issues with #5? It says "Explained in THIS VIDEO" and when I click it, it brings me to a bunch of different videos, so I dunno which one has the answer, Ive watched them all and put in all kinds of answers, i though I paid attention well, is it not bringing me to the right video or am I just not paying enough attention?
Sweet, I've been doing some digging on APUs to build computers for family and friends, this quiz saved me a ton of time by consolidating a lot of information into one area. Still gonna do some more digging, but I'm even more excited to see what these can do for low-mid range computers.
Glad we're finally seeing some competitions that aren't restricted to USA only.
Hope I win, i've been saving for some new parts for my PC for a while now and it's tough, seems like whenever you try and save money for something a dozen other things turn up that require your immediate revenue.

I dunno, all of those countries are wealthy countries with big technology sectors, except for Poland, which I understand does have a big gaming industry, and Romania, which is... where... Dracula lives? Wait, no, that's Romenia.

Well, I guess it's good that it's not exclusive to the US anymore; slow progress is progress nonetheless. Still, I have yet to fathom how Australia keeps getting missed. Yes, Australia. You know. That othercountry continent.

I think it's the third video from the left, I started it and then Googled whilst it buffered so got the answer anyway.

Thanks, that actually helped, I finally got it, it just took it a minute to realize I put down the right answer finally.
I hate this competition. Why? Because they forget the island nation with a currency that is stable ABOVE the US dollar! (at time of writing 1 Australian dollar = 1.0276 U.S. dollars). Yes Australia despite having the higher currancy value gets forgotten yet again by the very greedy multinational-but-not-global collection-of-money-hungry-pigs - I mean company - who's native currency lies under ours
That quiz was actually.... surprisingly easy. Anyways, cool to know more about the APUs, sadly I imagine the odds of winning are so slim I most likely needn't have bothered.

My thoughts exactly. I was just about to begin the quiz when I read it.
I mean come on... Poland and Romania but no Norway?
