BZPower Q&A Contest #1: Answer Questioned, Topic Closed
Welcome to BZPower's first ever Q&A contest! As usual, the members will be the one asking the questions, and the staff will be providing the answers. So, how can this be any different than the usual day-to-day, you ask? Well, to turn things into a contest, there's a little twist: we provide you with the answers first, and you get to come up with the best possible question to match one of them. Here are the answers from which you can choose:
- "I’m not sure what that has to do with it, but in MOST cases, the answer is maybe."
- "There is a precedent, but we don’t talk about that - so, yes, as long as it’s not too large."
- "He was joking. The rules clearly state that it is allowed in most cases; this one is uncertain."
Please pick only one answer to which to respond. Entries will therefore be separated into three "categories," and one winner will be announced from each.
Entry Period:
Entries will be accepted from April 1st until April 8th at 11:59 PM Eastern.
Entry Form:
Please fill out this form and post it in this topic to enter.

Entry Question:
Example:
Member Name: -Windrider-
Answer/Entry Category: 2
Entry Question: Are there maximum dimensions for Flash files in posts? (Really boring and not witty at all, but you get the idea.)
Entry Requirements:
Entry questions must be BZPower-related. That means no "nonsense" questions may be entered. The answers provided may be ambiguous, but that doesn't mean your questions should be utterly random. Be creative! Be witty!
There is no minimum or maximum length but please be reasonable. Brevity may be the key to an entry question's success, so I would advise against making your entry, say, a paragraph long. On the other end of things, sentence fragments are always no fun.
General Rules:
You may submit up to one entry per day in any category.
Unauthorized edits made to your entry are not allowed once you have submitted it. Please check your question over for any errors before making that post!
Entries are to be posted in this topic, and in this topic only. That is, no entry topics are allowed. You may use your sig and/or your blog to advertise your entry, but I do not want this forum to become cluttered, since it will still serve its purpose as a Q&A forum for the duration of the contest.
No mass-advertising your entry through PM or other means. PMs amongst you and your friends are fine, but nothing more. If you receive an unsolicited advertisement PM, please report it.
No cheating! We will catch you if you modify your entry question after you have submitted it, and we will disqualify you.
Voting:
Voting will take place in polls. The number of rounds will depend on the amount of entries we receive. If there are, say two rounds, here is the predicted schedule schedule:
Semifinal voting should begin on April 9th and end on April 11th.
Final voting should begin on April 12th and end on April 14th.
Prizes:
What are the prizes, you ask? Well, that is...a good question.
Hosts, Assistants, and Conduct:
Your hosts are -Windrider- and Velox.
Your assistant is 55555.
This topic will be left open for contest discussion, and while discussion is indeed encouraged, we expect everyone to conduct him or herself professionally. That means no spamming, no flaming, no whining, etc. It could hurt your standing in the contest! In addition, please do not try to "play moderator." If you have issues with someone's behavior, someone's entry, or anything, please do not post about it. You can PM any of the four of us, and we can sort things out privately.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM any of the three of us, or simply post it in this topic.
Now go get questioning!
