Other than to give you a false lead? Obviously the people responsible for this contest love giving us red herrings, and that's something I like about it, that you have to stop and think a bit, not react instantaneously.

I'm surprised that the current contest is still running O.o

There's a huge variance in the "quality" of the first pictures - some are super easy, others really hard. Why is that? Also why is it that it takes bloody ages to tell us the contest is over, why? I have my money on incompetence.

Well, I have an inkling someone screwed up by the numbers this time, that's why it was so easy. The picture we got was named "GuessWhatXXIII D3" and I'll bet you that means it was the Day 3 picture someone uploaded by mistake... I for one got it instantly, but even though I sent it out in the first ten minutes I'm not at all sure I managed to be quick enough...

As for blaming incompetence on the delay in announcing the results, I believe you're being unfair - think just how many people must be answering this contest and how many e-mails that means. Also taking into account the fact that a lot of those e-mails are sent by people who couldn't be bothered reading the rules in the first place and you also get the inevitable "answer is potato" type replies that add to the pile, creating an absolutely staggering amount of correspondence to sift through. Also think of the fact they must find the earliest six correct answers and that the person who has to do this rather boring work also has other duties to attend to and you start getting the picture...

Besides, it's clear they usually announce wherever a contest is over or continues when they're supposed to update the picture anyway, which makes perfect sense.
