50% going to you is a bit much dnt you think? exspecially for a high entry fee.
If u increase the winnings, i'll play 
Hammy. Well, OK. I'm changing it from 50 Frih$ 85 Frih$. Is that better?
i want to sign up. i have sent u a PM.
I just have one question, what's the catagory that the questions will be in? Computers? Science? History?
The question can be anything. I'll be using multiple categories.
well, when will u ask my question then???
After 10 people sign up. Everyone gets the same question. Them you PM the answers to me.
Heh!, Thats more like it 
Pm'ing you now.
Hammy. well, looks like we have to wait a long time for the question!!!
Yeah, unfortunetly. I can't do much with only two players. Do you think I should reduce the number of players? (It will also reduce the prize.)
interesting.. not sure if gonna join tho

no. need to reduce the no. of players (OR THE PRIZE!!! 
)LOL. Yeah, OK. I won't reduce anything. (I know you want Frih$.) I have also signed up, I hope more people join soon.
Quick Q:
1. I don't check in here every day...how long will you wait for all contestants to pm you?
2. Will the first contestant with the winning answer be the winner or will you wait for all contestants to answer and split the pot with the correct pmers?
Thanks!
1. I'll wait until everyone has PMed me.
2. I'll wait for all the contestants. If more than one person gets it right, the award will be divided.

Suppose, say, a week goes by and not everyone has emailed you. Will you still wait?I'll probably send them a reminder, so I probably will wait. If it seems like a really long time, then there is a slight chance I won't wait.

While I don't check in every day, if we wait a month for the game to continue, I might forget about it. How about an outside deadline? Also, if I'm not coming onto the Fri site for awhile, I wouldn't get a pm.You mean make a deadline for the answers? Also, you can be notified via email when you receive a PM.
Nice idea stiling my idea of getting money for the contest. (its ok I dont mind. just had to say that ) Anyways I will give it a try count me in.
It is stealing & not stiling.
He is not stealing your idea, you have never started such a contest.
Now please stop spamming in every other thread that it was my idea.
I guess I will participate also. I will send in my 10 FRIH$.
I might as well as i have lots now!!! 
But anyways i'll send you it as soon as i finish posting this. | william wrote: |
| You mean make a deadline for the answers? Also, you can be notified via email when you receive a PM. |
Yeah. I don't check the emai associated with pms here much at all. How about an outside deadline so we all know to check in every, say, two weeks for the deadline on answers? | mistuh griddlez wrote: |
| I might as well as i have lots now!!! 8) But anyways i'll send you it as soon as i finish posting this. |
Hey Griddlez, good to see you over here. How did you get all that cash?Well, I'll make a deadline after everyone has signed up.
Ok I PM'ed you with the 10FRIH$ | seastatue wrote: |

It's actually pretty awesome! I got it all one night after i finished making hogwarts' website. (He gave me a little much but oh well )
Also i can't wait to get this thing started! | william wrote: |

I'll sign up if you make it, say, a 1 or 2 week deadline. The other rules are cool. | mistuh griddlez wrote: |

I'm in if he gives us an outside deadline now. That is awesome! I may need some help with a website sometime. You have an ad up here somewhere for your services? (I better start winning some games so I can afford you...)Alright, once ten people have signed up, you'll have one week to answer the question. If you don't answer within a week, you are disqualified.
I hope it's not oing to be a question that we can google, because out of 10 people.. surely someone will try n get an easy win.
I think it should be some Uber hard mathmatical Problem lol.
And no trick questions either 
lol I won't really make any math questions or trick questions. I've made many questions, though I have to make sure they're extremely difficult to find on Google, if at all.
Awww dangit lol ... i'm a A-Level maths student tho lol.
Ahh well.. at least it's not on google Well, I might make math problems, but not very many. I'm mainly going to stick to science, history, maybe computers, and potpourri.
I'm in, donated, and received your reply Will. Tks!
PS: BTW, is anyone doing any more hangman contests soon?
C'mon guys! Only one more player is needed. After that, I'll give you the question. (I have a ton of questions, I just can't decide which one to use.)

While we're waiting to start here, if anyone want to join me for a quick Hangman round, check out the new game.
I'll guess we will have the final player here within 4 days, Will. | seastatue wrote: |

Yeah, I'll probably join the hangman contest. It's only a matter of time before somebody signs up here.Only one more person!! yes! Can't wait to get his thing going! I can't wait either. However, the positive is that since it is taking a while, I have the time to make the questions harder. well, i hope u make it as hard as possible, that cannot be searched on Google....
Okay, Can we get the question know.
Donated the money to u.

Will, you didn't post the deadline for answers. You should say here at the END of the thread that you put the questions in the FIRST post and WHEN EXACTLY the deadline is DATE/TIME/TIMEZONE for our answer pms.
Thanks for waiting for ALL answers to be pmed before telling any contestant any info about the questions. Much appreciated.
So, when is our DEADLINE to get these back to you?OK, here's an exact deadline.
Friday August 25 2006, 20:15 GMT.
Everything else is just 0. (eg. second, millisecond, etc. ) I have PMed you the answers
oooh yay it's finally going on!! (i don't know any of the answers and snce i don't want to cheat and go look it up i'll just guess well i think it's cheating.) C'mon people! If you don't submit your answers by Friday, you will be disqualified!
So give me your answers and earn cash.
By the way, I may need a tie breaker.
well, that means 2 or more have answered correctly....
i wish friday wud come sooner!!! Ooooo.. tie breaker
dought it'll be me tho.. i thought i knew the answers, But wasnt sure about them lol.
May the best man/woman win!
I have PM ed u the answers.
I think u will need more than just a tie-breaker.
I have PM ed u before the Deadline. OK, only three more people have to submit their answers.
-TeenZine
-Josso
-seastatue
but the time's over. they shud be disqualified according to the rules. still, u can wait if u wish!!! I may wait a little longer, but they still have some time left.
ok, as u wish. but i think today was the deadline!!!
It is. But the time is 20:15 GMT. this is to hard I give up/

And, to quote a statement

| "Nothing is Impossible." |
ummm well..........i don't think these questions were too hard!!! though quite challenging all the same.........so, when r u going to announce the results??? and of course.............NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!! I'm just being "nice" and giving just a little extra time. I will announce the winner.
But, I'll just tell you guys this, one person did get them all right.
Then there are some "maybes." Either I put up a tie breaker, give it to the person who got 'em all right, or divide it. Rightly that the person who got them all right should win the money..
except there wasd a mis-understanding in a question, and either answer was correct tecnically.
but anyways, im not one to complain .. so i dnt mind if that one person wins it all
Well done whoever it was. Do you think I should post the winner now and not wait?
I Guess it's best for you to post now, Everyone must be dying to figure out who is the Winner. I am about to get an Heart Attack if I dont find out soon!
yeah, it will be better if u announce the winner..................we are all very curious!!! Heh, yeah post the winner.. They had their chance.. plus more lol
May the best man/woman win!
Please post the winners.
I am desperately waiting for it.
Hope the Best Man(Me) wins. OK, I shall now announce the winners! I reviewed the answers multiple times and figured it out. Also, there are TWO winners!
Do you want a tie breaker, or should I divide the prize?
Anyway, the winners are:
mathiaus and Hammy. Congrats to both of you!
Hey Plz Post the answers.
I am sure i am also a winner. Oops, I forgot to. I'll do that now.
even i was sure that i had won!!! still, congrats Hammy and Mathiaus!!! Congrats Mathiaus and.. oh me!
I'm happy to split the prize..
unless mathiaus wld like otherwise?
gud job. OK, Hammy and mathiaus, you can go ahead and decide if you want to divide the money, or if you want a tie breaker question.
I did, they're on the first post. I'll go ahead and post them here.
a. 17th century. Weighed 43 pounds 7.25 ounces or 19.7 kg.
b. 1913
c. 8 minutes. Duck, Sheep or Hen
oh no, I just missed the contest with only 1question
Yeah, a lot of people were close to winning.
Next time, I will make the questions much harder. 
Yes, questions should always be such that either answer to all is known or answer to no question is known.
Well done as well Hammy
I'm happy to share the $FRIH, luckily I'm not greedy OK, since both Hammy and mathiaus are willing to divide, that is what I shall do. 42.5 Frih$ for both of you.
EDIT: OK, time for the second question. Go ahead and sign up!
Sign up time!!!!!!!! I'll donate you the frih$ right now!
Are you really sure you want to pay me 15 Frih$?
