First of all, thanks to all of you that participated. We hope you enjoyed it as much (or more) as we did.
Here are the winners of last weeks competition:
First place, the only one with a 100% score (19 points), and winner of a print SP book of choice: cjldragon
Shared second place with 18 points and both winners of a ePack SP book of choice: r937 and itmitică
Congratulations! You will be contacted soon (if you haven’t been already).
Thanks to SP for offering another ePack book, so no draw was needed to see who won the book and who won the coffee mug.
And here are the correct answers:
1 Everyone talks about it, but there is no concensus on what it really is. You could, for example, store your files in here (5 letters) CLOUD
2 Google can’t read it, Apple doesn’t like it (5 letters) FLASH
3 CSS is too much (4 letters) LESS
4 #sitepoint (7 letters) TWITTER
5 Used to enhance the user experience (10 letters) JAVASCRIPT
6 Before we used short URLs everyone wrote application (3 letters) APP
7 On the road (6 letters) MOBILE
8 This is all SEO people care about (9 letters) BACKLINKS
9 … media (6 letters) SOCIAL
The place that brings all these things together SITEPOINT
That’s all for now, folks. But stay tuned for our next competition
My sticking point was 5 and 8 I originally had navigation and backlinks
This give me 2 n’s which didn’t fit with sitepoint. I wasted a lot of time because I thought backlinks was wrong. SEO people must think of something else!
When I looked back at UX I realised it must be javascript.
Congratulations to ALL who participated. The time spent applying your knowledge and brain power has paid you dividends (even if you did not win a book).
And HUGE thanks to the Sitepoint staff for creating this fun event.
Correct. We first had “Before the Iphone…” but that was way too obvious. Therefore the more obscure hint. Almost half of the participants guessed it, so it wasn’t impossible.
