next endeavours... House Sitting and MicroPrizes
a little game:
you have heard of microloans....these are microprizes. (maybe i should "tm" that word, huh?)
prizes will be given to the first person that can...
A. name the city that this photo was taken: 1 cent
B. give me the name of this dog: 2 cents
C. identify the park that the grass is from: 3 cents
you may answer any or all questions.
the game starts.......now!
rules/regulations/disclaimers:
1. all answers must be EMAILED to me here: schmetzger. In addition to your answers, please make sure you leave the name and link you want posted to the leaderboard. Do not leave your answer in the comments, it will removed, and you will not be eligible for this microprize game. Plus, you might ruin it for everyone else.
2. YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT. You can not keep guessing until you are right. I will not give you any more hints than what is stated in the questions and on my blog. I will not give cents unless you submit a final answer in email form. This rule applies to everyone, and Traci.
3. all correct answers will be awarded the above microprize amount, but will be paid out when I decide to pay out, and in a manner (and with a prize) that is at least equivalent to the cash amount.
4. each correct response will get their name (or pseudonym) linked to their blog/website entered into the microprize leaderboard.
5. anyone with the middle name "jenard" is excluded from this round of questions.
6. anyone married to anyone with the middle name "jenard" is excluded from this round of questions.
7. anyone with an underbite is excluded from this round of questions.
8. the mailer isn't a joke, i really am starting a housesitting service.
9. any laughing or making fun of my flyer design will be disqualified from this and future microprize games.
10. if you find a typo, do not tell me.
11. the correct answer will be posted in 4 days (?).
12. i know these questions are a bit obscure, but hang in there...this game will get cooler. The answers to these questions could be sleuthed from information on my blog. I am not saying that the answers are on my blog. The harder the question, the more cents.
note: i just checked...looks like the term "microprize" gets uses for more important things than my game....
guess i will have to call it [sch]microprizes.

I know a boxer in Beaverton who is really sad she didn't make the dog cut. ha ha. great idea though.

Housesitting flyer is now posted on my department's bulletin board...
Great idea, btw.

I may make another flyer for a more public advertising strategy....
i know this one reads pretty specifically to my utoring clientele.
thanks for posting it, though.
I will post another if I change it in anyway.
thanks!
no attempt at the schmicroprizing?

oh...and mel, I dont think i have any pics of the sad boxer.
i will need to bring my camera over and think of some questions for her too....
but then I would have to disqualify you for that round, and you might drop on the leaderboard!!

I know the answer to the first two...I could cheat and look at a map for the third.
shawn wrote this at 19.08.51..06.20.06
not cheating at all, my friend. at least not in my book. if you want to hold yourself to such things, feel free.
use any resources necessary, except other people, unless you would like to be considered a team. if you would like to be a team, let me know and i will record it as such.
i will add these things to the official rules.
