It is simple for everyone to participate. We'll give you a starting clue and you'll use it to find a video on VideoSift that has keyword #1. Along with that keyword will be a clue for #2, and so on. There is a total of four clues for this contest.

antFloating? It needs to move around. Can we get a REAL Tardis?
brycewi19^No man, this this is awesome! I've had my eye on this for some time now. It's cool - like bowties!

That's way too big!
RyjkyjThe instructions for this contest make absolutely no sense at all.
xxovercastxxIf it's not bigger on the inside, I don't want it.

It's intended to inform that we'll give you a starting clue and you should use that to find a specific video that has keyword #1. What makes no sense about the next part?This is intended to inform that along with keyword #1 will be a clue instructing how to find keyword #2. What makes no sense about the next part?This is intended to inform that you will need to find four clues and keywords. After that, the instructions say that once you have your four keywords, you join them together with a dash "-" and browse that page on videosift.com. It even includes an example.The instructions for this contest make absolutely no sense at all.
Well that's no good. It's certainly not our intention to make the instructions hard to follow.
Please help us clarify one bit at a time. What makes no sense about this part?
We definitely want it to be as clear as possible. Please help us understand the part(s) with which you're having difficulty making any sense. Thanks!
RyjkyjYeah, when I use the starting clue to find the video (which I think I did), will the video actually say "keyword #1" somewhere on it? Where? In the comments? Or are we just supposed to guess which part of the video is the keyword?
turboj0e says...are the keywords the same thing as tags?
lucky760@turboj0e: No, they are just special words used for a special contest entry URL, not related to tags in any way. Each of the "answer" pages explicitly tells you where the keyword for that answer page is.
burdturgler"Answer" pages?
lucky760>> ^burdturgler:
"Answer" pages?
Yes. A page with an answer (a.k.a. keyword).
campionidelmondoWait, I just typed "answer" on my typewriter and nothing happened. Is it supposed to start my PC and print out the tardis prize? Do I have to cover up the keywords on my monitor with wite-out first?
residuemy tardis came out of my "Compact Disc" slot

Someone told me you had to write "mouse click" on the screen, but nothing happened and now I can't get it off.
blankfistI hate Dr. Who. Can't wait to win this thing and take a poop on it.
