Some of you guys may remember that we had a contest on Chess Resources called "BotS", which stood for "Battle of the Sexes". It was a general knowledge quiz, and it was pretty successful, but it did have one major problem (which was why I never re-introduced it here): it was very easy to look up the answers on Google. This quiz (which is, in some ways, the successor to BotS) uses a different format, which aims to fix that. In each round, the host will post twelve pictures, based on a common theme (say, twelve flags, for example), and the other users need to try and identify them. The contest closes after one week, or when all of the logos have been identified (whichever is sooner, although if it ends really quickly, the host may post additional pictures to keep it going). The prize is 10 posts per correct guess, and whoever has the most correct guesses will be invited to host the next round. Also, to stop one person from just running away with this, I'm going to introduce the following rules (which may be tweaked in future editions of the contest, depending on how well they work): 1) No more than three guesses per post, and; 2) No more than one post containing guesses per person per 24 hours. (so, if you make a post containing guesses, you need to wait 24 hours before you can make any more guesses). Any guesses made beyond this limit will not be counted. Finally, a note on looking up the answers. I'll say now that using search engines such as Google to help you IS allowed. Since you can't just stick a picture into Google and expect an immediate answer, looking them up requires effort, and I think it's fair to reward that effort. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, here are your twelve pictures for round 1. In this round, they're all corporate logos, with the brand names removed. All you have to do is tell me what the brands are: ![]() I did try putting them in ascending order of difficulty, but quickly abandoned that plan, and now they're in no particular order. Also, I admit that some of them haven't been cut out terribly well, but I wasn't trying to create a work of art here .Scores so far: 1) Answered correctly by HeroofDarkness 2) Answered correctly by HeroofDarkness 3) Answered correctly by HeroofDarkness 4) Answered correctly by HeroofDarkness 5) Answered correctly by lamna 6) Answered correctly by lamna 7) Answered correctly by Hiyawoffa 8) 9) Answered correctly by lamna 10) 11) Answered correctly by Catface 12) Answered correctly by HeroofDarkness Good luck! |

Your first three guesses are correct! Your other guesses were correct too, but unfortunately, due to this contest's rule of only three guesses in 24 hours, I couldn't count them. (Maybe you didn't see that? I've now edited my first post to highlight it. I put it in place to stop one person from just running away with the contest, but if it doesn't work out, I'm prepared to tweak it in future contests). Anyway, congrats on those three correct answers !

OK....how can I break this to you ?1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 9 have already been guessed correctly. Of the rest, only 7 is correct. Plus, you seem to have missed the rule about only 3 guesses per post (per 24 hours). Still, thanks for entering! |

It's been 24 hours, so you're now free to post more guesses. Chris still has to wait another 11 minutes .

Only two days left now! Here are a few hints for anyone still struggling with the last three: Number 8 is an English football/soccer club. Number 10 is a Swiss watch manufacturer. Number 11 is an American pizza chain. |
