Yeah, the whole thing is pretty awesome. And random. And it is for real, I took the sticker in and they got me to do the skill testing question (which is 5... which I used paper to work out just to make sure). But the secretary didnt know the details about how it would work... she seemed to think that it would be money I could only use towards tution, but I read the rules on the side of the coke machine and it says that the winner gets a $5000 dollar money order they can use towards tuition or "towards whatever they deem" ... or something like that.

Well, if this is all indeed true then congrats Ed!!! So when are you taking us all out for dinner to celebrate :^)

it's five! isn't it? well, hey Ed, congratulations!
That's always strange though... to see the "win your tuition" signs on the campus vending machines. I'm glad someone actually won it and it wasn't just a big old hoax. I'm also glad it was someon I know... so kickass Ed!

I think the skill testing questions is to ensure that someone who went through math gets the prize... not some total idiot. no, really I don't know why they do it.

I do wonder though if they make sure you're a student before you can claim your prize.

What's the purpose behind skill testing questions anyways?

I don't get it. Did you actually win your tuition out of a vending machine or something? Either way I would've failed that skill-testing question if they didn't let you use a calculator.

Unfortunately no Al... its all a dream... a bad, bad dream.

((((16*21)+84)/7)-55) = $5000 dollars

The other Albert (Camus, for all you literary geeks) would have a field day!

Is this another start of a existentialist crisis?

Are any of you for "real"?
