November 2002: The GameFAQs Seventh Anniversary Contest

Do you feel lucky?

For the seventh anniversary of GameFAQs, we've got seven questions. Only a couple of them could be answered with knowledge; the rest require luck. It's open season.

For each question, enter your answer in the space provided. For each answer, you'll be ranked based on how far away from the "real" answer you are. If you get the answer right, you're ranked #1. If one other person gets it right and you have the next closest entry for that question, you're ranked #2. Ties increase the rank number, so if two other people get it right (or are the closest to the answer) and you're behind them, you're ranked number #3, not #2.

The overall winners of the contest, in order of placement, were: marsman57 (Score: 2535), Serge16 (2806), EvilChild (3585), damn posting limit (4611), and Kyle K (5142).
