Looks like we need a side competition, everyone pic a day and time and who ever gets closest can get a prize of somesort. What do you think Tom? I could use a tube of that Noctua Thermal Paste.
 
Can't remember when I entered this competition but it must have been sometime in February after I signed up.

Initially thought this would awesome to win as I was very much in need of a new PC then I just thought sod it I'll buy and build my own and kind of just forgot about it. Can't believe it's still ongoing, this is such an awesome competition credit to Tom and the people of OC3D for putting it on.
 
the competion ended 16 days ago.

I'm sorry but I can't find any reason for not knowing the winners yet.

it's 2 minutes to go through the draw
 
I understand that its kinda fun to drag out the competition because it causes anticipation... But 16 days, really?! Anyway im still very thankful for this awesome competition.

Patience is a virtue

Personally I don't mind waiting even for a month.

I most likely won't win since I am not very lucky, but still it's fun to participate in this sweepstake.

Thanks alot to everyone from OC3D and their sponsors. It's always nice when you get a chance to win some uber awesome and pricy stuff.
 
All the parts might not be ready yet for the first prize pc, tom said intel and nvidia had sent the wrong items, it could be a number of reasons. It'll happen when it happens

they either all own fish, or, none of them own fish, as "fish" is plural in this case.

and as the fish would have been out of context, if nobody had none... the answer could be: THEY ALL DO

but as the criteria states that each person must have a different pet (not type of)... the only person not mentioned to have a pet is the german... so he must be the fish owner.

So this is where I get confused.... the German owns the fish, because he is the only one without a pet ? ... who says that the fish is a pet ? why can't it be a fish ( meal ) ?

So since the question is "who owns the fish ?", i'd say that the answer is "whoemever caught it"...... doesn't even have to one of the people mentioned in the subtext.
