It's a Closed-Beta, not a free trial...

If you ever get your hands on it use it to find bugs and issues.

Well after getting a key from on here, THANKS BTW! I ended up winning another virgin key on another site 5 min later! So now I have a virgin key to give away, but I want the person to earn it .

Below are questions, 14 of them to be exact. No doubt some you will be able to answer off of the top of your head, others you will need to do some digging, yet a few will be very tough. You must answer all of them correctly! There is no specific genre or theme to these questions, first one to answer all of them correctly, will get the key, good luck!

1. What is the atomic weight of gold, and what is its perodic table of elements designation?

2. What year was the original sim city game released in the USA?

3. In commercial trucking in the USA, what is the minium tread depth of a steer tire?

4. What is the exact date Kurt Cobaine died on?

5. How many calories in a Big Mac sandwhich?

6. What is the full street address of Google's New York office?

7. How much does a gallon of diesel weigh in pounds?

8. What does IBM stand for?

9. On classadrivers.com forum, how many unique posts that I have started do I have (username is MatCat on there aswell)

10. Which brain receptor does Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide work on to inhibit coughing?

11. How many bits are in a byte?

12. According to USA trucking regulations reguarding hours of service, how many days will it take you to drive from Philadelphia, PA to Las Angeles, CA (Based on taking I-76 to I-70, to I-15, with a maxium truck speed of 70, averaging 56 MPH through Ohio, Illinois, and California, and averaging 67 MPH in all other states, except Colorado and Utah, which you average 60 mph.)?

13. In Visual Basic.NET which command allows you to draw text on control surface?

14. Why is the sky blue? (yes there is an answer to this)

Finally, a 500 word Essey as to why you would like to have a beta key, why you deserve it, and what you will gain AND lose from your participation in the beta. (This is required and all points in the criteria must be addressed).

This is starting to display some masochistic tendencies here with these beta keys. I won't deny I'd really like one, but come on...

Anyways, I'm sure plenty will abide... good for them. I vote for giving one to Mike1968

My questions aren't that at all!  I just don't like the idea of giving it away like that, maybe if I had like 10 of em I would just give em away randomly, but I only have 1 to spare, and I want to make sure the person gets it is someone that really wants it, not some kiddie that is going to go and leak all of the beta info to the public, or just play it for 5 min and waste the key for someone else who would actually beta test it and help shape the game into something we will all enjoy.

Actually sorry, 4 wrong But still not too bad.

[slickeal 0]

I want to know if the new city life will grand me more playing fun since city life 2008 only gives me elites and the game is practically played out...

What I will loose?

I wil loose hope in this game if it isnt what im expecting

[MatCat 0]

Interestingly you got 3 wrong still, however you only changed one properly, you altered 2 questions that where right One of them just needs to be more clarified. That is all the hint I am giving

[MatCat 0]

At 99.6% I am not starting all over .  Anyway, driving from Phila, PA to California has nothing to do with live, the universe, and everything being 42 , It was a legit question, you must determain based on the miles, and the given speeds, and the regulations for hours of service, how many days it would take to do the trip legally.  

Light refraction is indeed the ultimate reason for the sky being blue, but it takes certain chemicals in the atmosphere to refract the proper coloring.

Diesel is about 8lbs per gallon, 7.15 is close enough for me.  

Wow I pretty much gave it away now, guess I will give it to you for the effort anyway

I hate you, FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheSixCents 0]

So what the methodology behind the selection?

I dont see how so many people could get extra keys, but I entered things on at least a couple sites and I failed.

Ughhh.

I guess the kindness of strangers will prevail, Am I right, ladies?

Haha.

Is there any last Beta Keys, anywhere?

Anywhere?

[Mike1814 0]

Me getting the key was pointless. I can't even launch.

Any advide would be nice!!!

Try creating a ticket on the beta site or posting on the beta forums.. fixing errors such as this is what the beta is for. They can't fix something they don't know about.
