20081113 Giveaway - Round Two
UPDATE!!!! Sorry! There is actually 43 figures as pointed out by Meimi132!
Sorry for the delay - was trying to think of a question for round two seeing that many many of you guessed that the mag was Mac Fan and that the number of figures was 43 - I've circled all the figures in this image over at Flickr.
Those of you who got it right knew about the Freeing box for Kyons sister. If you looked closely enough, you would have also noticed the name card on the table of the Mac Fan publisher - I mentioned the photo was taken during the interview.
The "not normal by default" is the missing icons on the desktop which I hid using an application - hinting that its Mac related.
Now, seeing as so many of you guessed correctly, the next question will be a bit trickier ^^;
My LX3 arrived today with the LC-1 ricoh lens cap - you have to guess how much the total cost was.
Generous hints/rules:-
- I ordered online.
- I found it through a website that I often mention on this site.
- I don't necessarily go for the cheapest available.
- You need only guess the combined price of the lens cap and LX3 which already includes tax.
- Am currently playing with the camera - very easy to use.
- You must guess the exact price - the clues above are more than generous.
- You got two guesses.
- Read the above *slowly* and *carefully* and then compare what you see above to the website that you are searching for the price.
- Answer is staring at you in the face.
Deadline is Monday 9AM JST.
your answer *must* be like:-
http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/10328/20081113+Giveaway+-+Soniko.html#comment369102
60000 yen
Your answer *must* be in the format above as a script will pick out the answers - if you dont include a link to your previous answer then you do not qualify! so "60,000" does *not qualify!
Your comment link will let the script easily see that you guessed "Mac Fan + 42 figures" in the previous round.
If you did not guess correct first time round then you do not qualify for this round.
Arms installation is complete. Good Luck.
The prize for this giveaway will be Super Soniko which I have already secured for you. Yum.
This giveaway is brought to you by the good folks at HobbyLink Japan - they are also hiring.

What was your previous answer?
Student, Otaku, She-Geek(Sheek lol)
http://meimi132.wordpress.com/
Not 42 :beam: I was out by 1. Put 40 for my first answer and 41 for my second. I didnt notice the box at all lol. But I missed Tsuruya-sans hair anyways lol.
You missed the Nendo's in the flowerpot btw, on the circled photo.

http://meimi132.wordpress.com/
I just remembered/noticed, the yellow hair(that is yellow hair right?) near the Yuki Nendo. Just poking out from behind your laptop. Thats the 41 I counted... I didnt see the box or Maid Tsuruya-san.
If that yellow stuff is the hair of a figure(Melissa?), wouldn't that be 43?

http://www.dannychoo.com/profile/eng/
Meimi!

awwww. too bad I didn't get it. I kinda doubted whether that box would be counted as a figure since it really isn't part of the figure itself. :(

I gave two guesses for previous giveaways so thought it was only fair.
you going to wait before you guess? I think you got the previous round correct right?
dannychoo.com の読者
yes, on the second guess ^_^'
gave both my guesses for this round as well..
will there be a 3rd round or will there be a tie-breaker?
but seeing how hard this round is, it might the last round.
http://www.marvinryan.com
wow that was fast, how long was the shipping? congratulations on the camera. unfortunately I didn't qualify on the first round so I'll be sitting this one out. ^^
by the way nice lens cap, gotta get me one of those. ^^
CEO MIrai Inc
http://www.dannychoo.com/profile/eng/
They ship the same day you order. The cap is for another camera but fits on the lx3 - you have to force it on a bit though.

Are the contests always based on who gets the answer first? Or is the winner selected at random from those who get it right? Since a lot of the readers here are from all the over the world, it seems a bit strange that it would be based on who answers first, when a lot of people are in time zones where they're sleeping when the contests go up. >.>;
Student, Otaku, She-Geek(Sheek lol)
http://meimi132.wordpress.com/
It used to be who got the right answer first.
And the last contest went up at about 3am, in the morning(!!!) in the UK. Which is like.... 11pm or something where you are. So its fair since its being varied by the looks of it.

Auuu... I was the first to get the right answer, but all for naught... lol JK. I kinda knew there was another round mentioned in the original contest post. I didn't see that Mac Fan business card at all. I just knew it from Danny opening two Mac computers with the same wallpaper and then saw the Mac Fan cover that had the same wallpaper XD I also have a secret about counting the figures that I won't say now lol...
I'll answer the question later when I get home or if I have the time at work ^^;

Is this round open to all members or vets only this time Danny?
