Alright the crazy week and the great contest has come to an end. I have enjoyed every single bit of it except for counting each comments and making sure every one gets the right amount of points.

Second, I want to thank all the users who participated in this contest, and all of my users who were the victims of comment war (Bruce) for bearing with it. I would like to thank all the users and webmasters who blogged about this contest and give it its fame.

Answer to Clue #7

My Brother’s name is Zain

Answer to the Treasure Hunt

Page Title: Make Money Online
Url: http://www.balkhis.com/make-money-online/

Since only Angad and Rakshinda got the clue right when several others tried multiple times. I will explain how the clue was suppose to work.

There were 5 steps meaning 5 pages that you were suppose to visit to get 25 points. I started you with the first hint that was the Uzzz Portfolio Page. You were suppose to find a key which belong to Uzzz. So the first site you would’ve seen on the portfolio was eKey. So you visit eKey which is the 2nd step. The key was suppose to unlock the Castle’s Arcade Room. If you clicked on the logo of ekey or free proxy which is the top of the key it would’ve taken to you to FunCastle.org which was your 3rd page. You should’ve clicked on Arcade to hit the 4th page. Now on the arcade page you were suppose to find a four by four (4×4) to enjoy the ride to your final destination. 4×4 Rally is the most popular game at the funcastle arcade. If you would’ve searched for the word Final Destination you would’ve seen a link in the sidebar of that page. Which would’ve taken you to the final destination which was the Make Money Online page on Balkhis. You could’ve also just skipped step 5 because the Final Destination link was also on the main arcade page.

Once again thank you all for staying up to date in this contest. Since I didn’t post anything about my life in this week. I will do that in the upcoming post to show you guys what I have been doing. Also I will be sharing with you the tips I can give you from running a successful contest like this one.
