Hmm no idea, looks to have been inadvertently left in. Are you able to submit without them being filled?
Yep! Can just disregard them. I was just curious :P
@gnv9/OP, Thank you VERY MUCH for All the answers. SUPERB job!! 👍 🥂 🥂 🥂 🥂 🥂 🥂 👍
Weird thing is it says:
Entries Close: October 30, 2017
yep they aren't very meticulous (which also explains the two untitled boxes) but comp is this month's.
Thank you for all the work you do on this, does it take a long time? Either way it's appreciated.
Depends on the questions - generally a few hours…once or twice was missing that elusive last answer so those took over a day (wasn't at it every minute of course)..and you're welcome :)
I used to see this competition in STACK way back when, and I tried entering it a few times but I always struggled with it enough that I usually gave up before the end of the quiz in annoyance.
So, I mean, it's awesome of you to do (and not not just list the answers, but list sources) and I appreciate it much. Ty
Also, while I have you here, thanks for being the elusive hunter of a lot of competitions on here too— comps don't get much votes or recognition on OZB, unlike the main bargain page, but I for one appreciate you posting them here for us. It's great. :)
"I always struggled with it enough that I usually gave up before the end "
Yep, felt like that plenty of times but I am too stubborn haha. Always a nice feeling when you finally complete it though.
""comps don't get much votes or recognition"
Agree, which is why I in turn am thankful for the minority group (yourself included) who do take the time to vote or contribute in any way. Votes don't amount to anything for the OPs (and I certainly wouldn't still be posting daily if that's what I do it for) but it's a gesture of appreciation for the time/effort put in and for me personally, a relief knowing it's a decent post.
This message means a lot.. thank you. I look forward to hearing of some wins :)
Yes thank you gnv9! You're awesome :)
Holy heck, way to research buddy!
Thanks!
