how about a new contest/pay it forward thread?

[hydin]

i was thinking about this earlier today, and thought "man its been a while since we had a contest thread on the board".

so.... im thinking of starting one.

extremely simple rules.
1: you post 3 questions, and 2 "prizes".
2: whoever the first person to answer all 3 correctly gets thier choice of the prize. BUT, when you answer them correctly, you have to post your own 3 questions and own 2 prizes. you cant win without giving something to someone else
3: make the questions as simple or as hard as you would like them to be.
4: to avoid any sort of post confusion, please mark your reply with the RPF handle you are replying to. ex. if you answer my questions, just pop "hydin" in there at the beginning. the board will handle who posts first, etc.
5: feel free to participate as often as you like, just remember each time you answer you gotta still pop up 2 prizes

so, easy to understand rules, fun contest, make the prizes as awesome or as tiny as you want, and let the games begin.

ill start off.

1: what is clark kents favorite novel? (new age comic continuity)
2: in david gemmell's series of fantasy novels, what is druss the axemans axe named?
3: in david eddings belgariad and mallorian, what is the name of the jewel used by sparhawk? (either the troll name or the "nickname" of it will work).

prizes.
chunk of green "kryptonite" quartz
clarks blood sample from smallville

good luck, and remember, if you answer these correctly, you have to post 3 questions of your own and 2 prizes
