Posted by Igor Hardy under Intermissions
[14] Comments
I’ve never figured out the great art of doing contests. Until now! Expect devious riddles and mystery prizes! And toilet paper! Now roll out the rules!
The rules are simple. Answer the following 3 questions to win one of 3 copies of the mystery off-beat point&clicker prize sponsored by Univert Games:
1. How many toilet paper rolls you can’t see in the above picture?
2. Which is the nobler title – “earl” or “marquis“?
3. What is your favorite color?
Warning! Some questions are tricky!
Please provide the correct answers either in the comments below or shoot me an email at igor at hardydev.com. Provide incorrect answers at your own risk!
If there is anything unclear about the rules, feel free to ask questions in the comments.
And be quick about everything – you have 1 week and the prizes can stay hot and sticky only for so long!






3) Well if we are not counting white or black, then dark green for its use in text and nature.
2) marquis.
1) well it looks like 2, but 1 seems just as likely to be the official answer. But I guess I will go with 2.

1. 2
2. Depends on your definition of “noble.” I like earl because it’s not so snooty-sounding, but marquis is the answer I suppose.
3. earth tones

1. 2 (unless who want to be very surreal)
2. citoyen. and to answer that question marquis in most cases. Then again being a noble is ignoble.
3. red! No, wait, blue! No, red. Definitely red.

1. Just one (1).
2. Marquis
3. Turquoise

1. Zero! Just kidding… Three
2. Marquis
3. Purple

As corrupt as HardyDev is, I can’t let you win, Jan. Not while everybody is looking. Sorry.
