Aww, yeah. 4 tickets in the bowl!

OldSkool · 07-31-08, 08:38 PM

All this green! Fine! I'll be the first non-green, heh non-blue even, to post. Great contest here you guys are doing. I was listening to the podcast while getting ready for work today, so I know two of the four answers already

I'll finish listening to the rest of the podcast tonight and submit my entry

Good luck everyone!

Good luck everyone!

The first two questions of the quiz are just general OCF knowledge. Poke around OCF for a while and you'll find them.

Just a general tip. Best of luck!

One per household. We want to give everyone an opportunity to win. With 4 tickets though, you have a better chance than a lot of the people who entered.

At this time - I don't have a contest end date - we're playing around with Aug 13 (our next episode).

US only - sorry not to mention that before!

Man, nothing about our recent Folding Contests? I'm disappointed.

We give away nice hardware too.

We don't find out about this stuff on our own.
Someone has to tell us...

So in the future, keep us posted on folding contests. We'd be glad to announce them on the show.

Silversinksam · 08-04-08, 03:38 PM

Well I know one answer for sure. The other three has me sitting in the corner.

I'd enter, but if I won people would probably get annoyed

g0dM@n · 08-05-08, 03:19 PM

I want to enter, but still debating... better chances for others if I stay away with the right answers.

mdcomp · 08-05-08, 03:24 PM

Sam and g0dm@n, you should both enter. You deserve a chance just as much as anyone else does. Since only me and Jordan have access to the entries, its impossible for any foul play to be involved. The winner will be chosen completely random using a random number generator.

You guys are right, but I'm well off, and I'm sure there are many others that aren't or are young and don't have good savings like me.

I'm sure Sam could say the same.

zexmarquies01 · 08-11-08, 11:30 AM

Wow, Just caught this on August 11th. Good thing i checked it out, and entered.
