There was a time when readers had to work hard to win this contest.
Here are a few of the questions they had to answer:

November 2006 - The contestants had to answer the questions below


Hero Without a Cause

 May you be blessed, O ye who endured in Hades
To become the fiercest in all Aries armies
Ye with faith and courage, and who never despaired
Even under the yoke of the mighty Baldric.

Ye who thirst for justice, tired of infamy,
Seeking a noble cause, find refuge in Mythos.
Quiet triumph awaits in the dark underworld,
Among unsung heroes of the antiquity

For purpose and fortune shall reward the worthy
Who offers at sunset a single bloody rose
Before the tall altar of Vulcan’s western forge,
Welcomed by Apollo, Prometheus and Zeus.

And may death come swiftly to foreign barbarians
Who would dare to trespass on the Elysian Fields
 

The answers were contained in:


QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 

1 - What is the mighty baldric?

The CEM
ORION
Hell

2 - What is Mythos?

A terrorist organization
A European militia
A secret group of watchers

3 - What is Vulcan's western forge?

An alien pyramid
A sacrificial temple
A glass tower

4 - Who are the foreign barbarians?

The Anaz-voohri
The Anasazi
ORION

5 - Who is Zeus?
