I figured it'd be nice to set up a little contest for all of you on this forum, so here it is:
Up for grabs is an original 1989 "I Want It All" 3-track cd single. It can be yours if you can solve the below problem.
Somewhere on the QZ forums, I have hidden a topic. It's posted under the same nickname as this topic, it's not years old or anything like that. If you find the right topic, you will see that it is the right one. Anyone can find it, but you'll have to look well for it. If you're the first to post a reply in this topic, you've won the contest. It's that easy.
The only hint you'll get to work with is this: don't miss a single number.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
* Every QZ-member is eligible, except the webmaster and moderators (sorry, but they'd have an advantage)
* The first person to post a reply in the hidden topic wins
* As soon as I see a reply posted in said topic, I will announce that the contest has ended in this topic, with a direct link to the hidden topic.
* The prize *is* transferable - that means that if you don't want it for yourself, you can have it sent to someone else of your choice.
* I will send the prize by regular mail to any destination in the world, providing it is a legitimate address and postal services are operating there.
* After a winner has been announced, I will contact said winner by PM to arrange shipping.
My deduction is that this is the "hidden" topic. 'Don't overlook a single number' - a single number of posted topics. Hidden in plain sight. The purloined letter etc. etc.
And believe it or not, we already have a winner! emrabt was the first to find the hidden topic: link
How does one find it? Well, every one of the forums on QZ (Personal, Queen - General Discussion, etc.) has a number as well as a name. You can see it in the address bar when you open the forum's main page. For instance, Queen - Serious Discussion is link, so number 1, while Queen - General Discussion is link, so number 10. However, not all numbers are in use. One of those that was, as yet, empty, is number 5. link

well i don't have it, so if you want it it's not like I’m losing anything.
How much do you want it? As a new fan, I've been working on a little collection of cool Queen shit, and something like this would work perfectly, which is mainly why I wanted it. If you have some sort of collection as well, by all means take it, but if not I would kind of like it.
I want to complain that this is a misrepresentation of the rules. How can you hide a topic in an unlisted forum ? I expect to find the answers only in the forums with official descriptions. It is like playing hide and seek in the house and the player hid himself outside on the window ledge. Unfair, unfair, unfair !!! :-)
