Tanki Thinking Challenge

What I'm getting at is, what is stopping someone from going through the quiz and entering another tanker's nickname, and entering all the wrong answers, just to take that tanker's opportunity to win?

Here's a scenario, the same username gets entered twice in a form (lets say it's mtbarden3). mtbarden3's normal playing IP address is 67.185.xxx.xxx and it's also the IP addressed used to fill in the google form. Some random player also puts mtbarden3's username and answers all the wrong questions. They see that the IP used to fill in that form has never been used by mtbarden3's account, therefore, they discard that attempt and use the one with corresponding IP addresses. 

 

I'm not saying that this is how Tanki does it as there are multiple ways to do it, however, this is a possible scenario and whatever Tanki uses, it's likely that no one can effectively sabotage another players chances at winning.

most players have there ip addresses linked to there accounts with emails or face book ... its not as easy as it use to be .. they have tightened up the access now... see if you go to change your pass words it sends u a link and it asks you if this is you on the account and if its not some one is trying to hack it and thats when you report the issues.

Wait... You're saying 200 people responded at 38 minutes in, less than 50% answered correctly, making it probably roughly 75 to 100 correct answers. That's approximately 2.3 answers per minute, therefore, the 50th answer would have been given at 1822 UTC.

 

THEREFORE!! Since I completed the quiz at 1814 UTC, (and given I answered correctly which I believe I did), I should win 5,000 crystals next Monday?? :D

 

Guess we'll have to see if the last answer was given at 1822. Mathematically speaking, I'm correct, logically speaking well.... I'll know next Monday. 

Yes but it's not necessarily linear

When i click the link it says "ISSUE-1 CLOSED". What does that mean. I need access to this quiz as i am also a member of TO. I refreshed the page so many times but it says "ISSUE-1 CLOSED" the same time. Please fix this problem or help me to get access to this quiz.

you might have gone to the wrong contest .. we are on week 3 ... the reason is cause that one has been finished and the winners have been chosen .. look for the new one and if you feel you don't / think its too late to place a entry then it will be out again next Tuesday at 1800 UTC time... good luck and hope u win

 

if you are on the right one then contact tanki on line attention  Dev's there could be a problem with the link to your face book page...

That's because the quiz is over, but there is always a chance next time ;)

 

I'll quote to you @Issho_Fujitora's post for what concerns time zones:

 

"For what concerns time zones, we can't do anything — this is the international Community, not RU, nor DE, nor PL or such, we keep the International Standard time set to UTC+0 and all our events and contests are run timed accordingly to it, sorry. It will never be possible to comply with all requests and, if we were to change timezones in favour of someone, everyone else not in that timezone would suffer, so we keep the "average / middle" timezone which is UTC+0, for everyone."

IMPORTANT — PRIZE CHANGE FOR "SPOT THE DIFFERENCE"

 

Since I'm a greedy person, I decided to reduce from 5'000 crystals to 2'500 crystals the prize of this week's riddle....

 

JOKING!  :lol: 

 

 

I just finished to do some calculations based on participants, based on the time needed to complete this kind of riddle depending on your results and times and also based on your feedbacks — I DECIDED TO INCREASE THIS WEEK'S RIDDLE PRIZE TO 7'500 CRYSTALS.

 

I know it is not much, but it's still something. Consider that this week's riddle was easy (every "first issue" of a riddle tend to be the easiest one"), so I can't really give more ;)

and an other question

will only be  top 50 winners will be rewarded
not the runners up
If it is then i will ask the moderators to increase the numbers because the 50 tankers complete it in just minutes

Only the top 50 :( That's also why it's a challenge, to do it the fastest ;)
