Dear Skritter team,

When will you be releasing the results of the Skritter extreme challenge? I have studied endlessly for 25 days and want to know if I have made it or not!

Hilt.

I can't wait to try out the writing pad !!!

Is the challenge still possibly going on in some time zones and therefore not over?

I'm calculating the winners as we speak. It takes a long time to run that script, but winners should all get emails sometime "today" (where "today" is "before George goes to sleep"). We'll be asking what prizes you want and your shipping info, so please respond to those quickly so we can get it all sent out promptly in a big batch.

Great! Can't wait! (I'm really excited, and I just had a can of soda)

can't wait either ^^

Hm... Have the e-mails been sent out yet? I'm starting to get a little concerned...

Anyway, if not, I'll gladly wait another few hours for a prize so valuable!

Yes please post here as well so we know either way...anxious as well.

@Nick if you could, please post a brief message on this thread after all of the emails have been sent out

Never mind, there are way more of you than I thought. It's going to take us until tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

@Nick no worries. No big rush

Whew... A little shocked when I checked my inbox today. They still haven't been sent out yet, right?

Hope not...

Yeah, right?

@mathpie probably not yet, it's still only 5-8pm in USA and the guys might work til pretty late sometimes ;-)

You got interesting statistics in your profile by the way! You joined in October 2010, but studied the 25 hours in the last month? Does that mean that you have been paying for Skritter for half a year without using it? ;-)

Yeah, I haven't been using it much before now; maybe a few minutes here and there, but this was the motivation to skritter. You're probably right as well.

Thanks :)

GOT MINE! I have completed the challenge and the emails are going out! WOOHOO!

I got my e-mail as well. Over 100 people qualified - I hope you guys get a discount on those writing tablets when you order them for us!

I think it's fantastic that over 100 people qualified. The amount of learning stimulated by the challenge must have been astronomical.

I just received the email and George counted me as just being under the 25 hours, but at least I'm qualified for the honor code it states. According to my stats in Progress I have studied 25 hours and 15 minutes from May 7-31 so it should be fine. And I've spent hours on trying to access Skritter in the last few weeks since my internet company has been blocking all sites that are not 100% Chinese for long periods at daytime. But I agree they should not be too lenient and keep it challenging!

The next newsletter will include some explosive stats then, lol. And with all these Wacoms sent out next month, maybe these stats won't be an exception.

I wonder how many of the 100-plus people who completed the challenge are going to want writing tablets ? My guess is...65

I think a lot of people probably just wanted to do it for the challenge, and some already have a tablet

I heard the Skritter guys decided to first ship the writing pads to subscribers outside the USA and, only if there are any pads left, after that to ship 'm to USA residents as well. A very nice Skritter sticker will be sent to anyone who will miss out on the pad as a result of this (while still having completed 25 hours in 25 days).

;-)

have all e-mails been sent out? EDIT: forgot which e-mail I used, and the email was at the "other" account

hmm interesting mw, where'd you hear that?

please notice the ;-)
