Transformers Trump Card Competition Winners!

Leave a comment

Well done to the winners of the Transformers Top Trumps Competition!  People had to either write a poem or create a picture that involved me and the Transformers somehow.  We have our two winners below: Brody wrote a poem chronicling the dramas I had getting my PC fixed when I turned up and the old owner, who was also a Transformers nut, had sold the business.  Scottie (our resident fan artist extraordinaire!) has created a simply awesome pic which hopefully bodes well for the future casting decisions of upcoming Transformer movies.  Well done guys, your Top Trump cards will be sent out to you soon!

 

A poem by Brody

You took your pc to get fixed,
The owner was new,
And he you knew,
He also liked Transformers
It took you a while to remember the former
Rhyming is hard,
I’m not Wheelie,
Really!!
Thirty-Five words,
I’m not the Riddler
I am not a Fiddler
Don’t linger,
Just be careful of Dipstick’s finger!

Competition – Beat Jacinta’s Brainteaser!

4 Comments

This question got sent in by Jacinta of Coburg.  But rather than just an an answer from me, I thought I’d open it up to the public so you crazy kids can strut your smarts and win a prize – lets see how you do!

rope

You have two pieces of rope which each burn for exactly one hour. The ropes are not made of the same materials as each other, and each rope is not made of the same materials in its length either. Both ropes will catch fire easily, and burn for exactly one hour, but it is possible that (for example) one might take 52 minutes to burn 25% of its length and then 8 minutes to burn the remaining length, you don’t know.
You have no other form of timing device, no phone, no watch, no clock, no sundial, no sun.
You have a few matches in a match box.
How do you measure out exactly 45 minutes?

 

Now my sexy superior intellect (or my relatively attractive and average brainpower at any rate) was able to figure out an answer in short order (hint: it involved quantum mechanics and a tapeworm).  But can you? And WITHOUT Google’ing it?  Put your answers in the comments section below.  At the end of June we will pick the answer which is either the most accurate (and obviously not online researched) or the most entertaining and give it it’s own post!

The winner will also receive either

A: A hand-written delicious brownie recipe from Jacinta or

B: A pack of Transformer Top Trump Cards from me.

 

Lets see those brains working people – good luck!

Competition – win Transformer Top Trump Card Packs!

Recently I have come into possession of some extra Transformers: Top Trump game packs, featuring all that lovely box-art from the early 80’s!  It would be too cruel of me to hoard them like the usual TF-miser I am so I have a plan to spread the joy – I’m gonna get folk to jump through metaphorical creative hoops in order to give me an excuse to give them away!

 

Here is how you can win your own pack:

*Option A: Write something creative, be it a poem, ode or story.  Must be between 38 and 3800 words that must involve yours truly (Big Angry Trev) and the Transformers.  What way, shape and form the story takes is up to you!  I wanna see those keyboards run wild and be dripping so much with your extruded creative juices that you’ll net to sit it out in the sun for 90 minutes to dry!

*Option B: A picture is worth a thousand words!  A picture either drawn or done via computer with me and the Transformers in some fashion (That does NOT give people a licence to draw a pic of me getting bent over an oil-can by an overexcited Dipstick by the way!  Arcee maybe, but not Dipstick).

 

The competition will run until the end of June.  Send entries via PM on Facebook, Ozformers or here.  At the end I will pick the best written entry and the best visual entry and mail those people their free Transformers: Top Trump packs!  The winners will also have their stories/pictures published here on the bigangrytrev website for all to enjoy!

 

Good luck everyone!  I look forward to seeing your entries! (and no, that’s not another Dipstick joke)
