AND THE WINNERS ARE If You Won, Let Us Know! No info yet (other than the guy on neowin who gave his wife the "Ivy" entry). But let's put it in this nice new thread.

Losers e-mail Has anyone else got an e-mail from LOKI saying that you're not the first to enter the correct answer but since you played she wants to reveal her secret?

Well, that's the chip contest losers. neowin had posts this morning of that email - so perhaps it went first to people who put in Ivy too late, but now is sent to everyone so we can all see it.

I wasn't too active on this one due to the high bandwidth constraints, but it was still a lot of fun.
Wanted to say thanks to aliendial and the other admins for skillfully keeping the fora in tune.
And to the Neowin gang.. Stick around a while. You're a great bunch of folks.
And to Loki, 42, MS, AMD, etc... Thanks for a good game!
Good luck to all the upcoming winners.

I got a phone call from a number in the 480 area code yesterday. Let it go to voice mail because I usually don't pick up numbers I don't recognize. They didn't leave a message, so I Googled the number. Nothing came up, but a check on the Area Code puts it in Arizona. I figured Microsoft would be adminstering the contest, which would be a 206 or 425. Numbers for 42 are 520 and 626. Who's in 480? That's Arizona.
Curiouser. Quick scan of the rules says that they will only attempt to contact you TWICE, so I'll pick it up if they call again. Still, they weren't supposed to start contacting people until TODAY.
Edit: It was a 480 number. I don't know anyone in Arizona, really. Number rings busy if I try to call back.
Yet Another Edit: Sweepstakes Administrator is Marden-Kane, Inc, in New York. Call should come from a 516 area code.

hehe, this would be the day for telemarketers to make their calls - more people wanting to answer calls from an unknown number instead of ignoring it

I still think the SuperRob processor would have been better.
In fact, check this out and judge for yourself (it's about a fifth of the way in, after I interview Chris from AMD). http://www.bleedingedgetv.com/index.php/video/119-vanishing-point-finale/
