That would require way too much going back and forth to get the answers but I guess one has to do what one has to do to WIN.

 

[misiek]

if you read the terms of the contest, you have to be a paid member of u2.com

 

[Yahweh]

So whats wrong with that the members of U2.com should get some benefit out of paying the 40 bucks. Good batch of questions though nice and tough.

 

[oktobergirl]

I am totally stumped on #3 and #6....

 

[filmrcj]

im stumped on 3

 

[whitehead]

Without looking, my guess to #3 would either be MONEY or CLEAN WATER.

Sure would be nice to win the iPod!!

 

[U2girl91289]

wait so can we actually look on the site to find the answers? In other words- can we cheat?

 

[whitehead]

Is U2.com trying to show to us how lousy their "Search" feature is!!

 

[ramblin rose]

Well I read the terms and conditions and wtf is this all about. I guess there is some law in Canada about competitions or what?

NOTE TO RESIDENTS OF CANADA: If you are selected as a potential winner, to be eligible to win any prize in this Challenge, you must, without assistance of any kind (whether mechanical or otherwise) correctly answer a mathematical skill testing question to be administered by the Sponsor.


wtf

 

[beli]

PS Who exactly is the sponsor? U2.com?

 

[beli]

The potential winner is notified on 20th Feb BEFORE the competition closes on the 25th Feb.

 

[ramblin rose]

The potential winner is notified on 20th Feb BEFORE the competition closes on the 25th Feb.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I'm assuming it's a typo.

 

[beli]

Yep, I'm guessing the competition took a little longer to get off the ground than anticipated. Poor buggers. They can't really win a trick can they?

I don't know if there is a law or what, but that 'NOTE' sure makes Canadians sound stupid! I thought it was funny though - I'm a math teacher!

Althoug I really doubt it, here's hoping U2 is the sponsor. I'd love it if Larry could phone me up to ask me a math question!

Thats why I asked. lol.

 

[tackleberry]

Is the last question a "make up your own answer" kind of thing, or is there actually a TRUE answer to this on the website?

That's the only one I can't answer...??

 

[Miroslava]

Yes, it is a make up your own answer

And I read the Canada math question thing is part of every contest so as to not be classified as a lottery



How pissed would you be if you won and then were asked to provide the square root of Pi or something like that and no calculator

Though I am sure it is more in the vein of what is 3 + 5

If you'd like to PM or e-mail each other about the answers, go ahead, but please don't post answers here out of fairness to everyone entering the contest.

Thanks

 

[iulennyc]

Sorry if I have offended anyone. I just don't know that answer and wanted to enter the contest.

 

[ZBYCH]

They must have erased this article with answer to McGuinnes question... I can't find it either! but remember reading it!

 

[charleswise]

Any one point me in the right direction to the McGunniess answer. I have vainly looked through u2.com but cannot find the answer. Email at charleswise(at)cox.net if you don't want to post here.


///NEVERMIND. FOUND IT.

 

[dream chaser]

[LostAtMoon]

Google isn't working for me!
