Dementeleus Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Am I missing something? How do you gain points before the game starts? You buy baumer's book, and you find the "secret" 10,000 points. (Hidden in plain sight... not that hard to find if you read his instructions carefully.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yea, and I haven't updated your score yet. Chillax dude. He's winning because he sent the email and bought my book last year. Both worth 10K. He should have 30K in total because he bought two of my books. But I won't give him the extra 10K because I know guys like you and Stingray would lose their shit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Question about 19.8 - What will be the fourth highest grossing film of May? I assume this means, what film (with a May release date) will have the fourth-largest gross, right? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
