Description:

This is a 3D benchmarking contest using Futuremark 3DMark 2005 version 1.2.0. The goal of the contest is to submit a completed 3DMark 2005 score to an "entry" thread to match an unknown secret score (magic number) that has been pre-selected by Xtremesystems.org 3D Team Captain (me).

Ending date:

Specifics:
All entrants will be allowed to submit 2 (two) different screenshots! So go ahead and try to "bracket" the secret score!!

Winner:
The winner will be the entrant who submits a score CLOSEST to the "magic Number". In the event of a tie, two submissions of the same score, the first posted will be the winner. In the event of a tie between two entrants, one equally higher and one lower than the "Magic Number", the first posted will be the winner.

GOOD LUCK!!

Out of curiosity....I've seen a few submissions by people where both guesses are VERY similar....can they win both prizes if their two guesses are the closest? :D

If two people guess the same numbers or are the same number away from the magic number, the FIRST member who posted the number will win.

Sorry for the confusing wording, I'm not asking that, here's it a little clearer.....say the correct number is (I'll pick one out of the range for the purpose of this example) 10000 and PersonA picks 9999 and 10001 as their two guesses and the next best guess is by PersonB at 10050, does PersonA get both prizes?

I've noticed a few people whose two guesses are very close to each other.

Well, we hadn't taken that into account... but I'll just say it NOW then, "Only ONE prize per person".

But I highly DOUBT ;) That is going to happen.
