    DS Lite and WiFi Game Pack Give-Away

    Alrighty, you guys have been asking for us to make the Friday Night Lites contest hard, like really hard, to cut down on the number of people who get the answer right. Last time around we managed to reduce the right answers from more than a thousand to about 400. This time I'm trying for single to double digits, mostly because I'm a bastard.

    This week around we're giving out the Nintendo WiFi pack. Here's what you'll win: A Polar White DS Lite, DS Lite case, Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing: Wild World and Metroid Prime Hunters.

    To enter you need to email your answer to kotakucontest@gmail.com with the answer in the subject line. Make sure the answer is in the subject line, as in the... subject line.

    OK, here's the question, it's a multipart math problem. Seriously.

    First: How much was the Alienware computer I priced out while looking into replacing my dead, dead, dead desktop.

    Second: The date I went and checked out the PSP Kiosk and wrote it up... converted into a Julian date (Go ahead and put all zeros for the time.)

    Third: The total cost of all of the Guinness beers shown in the picture Florian took with the Black DS Lite he secured for our final contest. Round the price to the nearest dollar, U.S. dollar. (Yes, you're going to have to sorta guesstimate on this one)

    Finally: Take all of those number, multiply them by one another, get their square root and then divide by 10,000.

    The closest answer wins, in the case of a tie we will do a random drawing to select the winner. Make sure your answer includes five decimal places, just to make sure you're as close as possible.

    We'll select the winner next weekend.
