Welcome to the OCC Scavenger Hunt!
Once a week for the next four weeks, we will be posting ten questions at the beginning of each week, for a total of forty questions. All answers can be found on the OverclockersClub website. The answers may be buried in threads, they may be right in front of you plain as day, or they might be somewhere in a review. The contest will encompass the entire site, not just the forums. With some questions, we may give some hints throughout the week. These hints will help point you in the right direction, but not get you directly to the answer. Questions which we feel do not need hints will not be included (we reserve the right to deem a question non-hintable). So please, do not ask for hints. All hints have been predetermined by OCC staff. Please feel free to talk about the contest as much as you like in the contest thread, but remember, don't give away the answers as this will decrease your chance of becoming a Grand Prize Winner for one of two complete gaming PC's. All entries must be sent to contest@overclockersclub.com by 11:59 PM EST December 23, 2007; all late entries will be omitted. You may send in you answers on a weekly basis as well. Please number your answers to the correct questions; answers numbered incorrectly will be deemed an incorrect answer. Duplicate entries or more then one entry per household will nullify all entries for that contestant. Please include your OCC username on all entries. All prize winners will be named after a random drawing from all who have the correct answers on December 24th, 2007. Please allow two to four weeks for shipment. All who live outside of North America may enter but will be liable for shipping charges. So without further adieu, here are your first week's questions. 1. How many staff members does OCC have? 2. Which OCC member owns way too much personal hardware and systems? (Staff Included) 3. Which OCC staff member has an AMD Quad FX system? 4.

Good luck and,
 This is could be a tough one since it looks like there are more than one question every week and all you need is just one incorrect answer to screw your chances so its a good idea to double and triple check before clicking that send button.

Can we wait and pass all the answers in at the end? you know instead of weekly? that's what I was hoping to do because there is one that I'm really stuck on and am hoping to stumble upon it later. so yeah can I pass my answers in all at once as opposed to 10 every week? -------------------- ASUS MAXIMUS 2 FORMULA/INTEL C2Q Q6600//8GB DDR2//ULTRA X3 1KW//HD4850-HD4850 IN CROSSFIRE// 1 WESTERN DIGITAL 500GB,1 WESTERN DIGITAL 1000GB //BENCH TABLE//WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE TWEAKED :D |
