As part of their Halloween celebration, the
Escapist magazine is giving away twenty
Grunty the Murloc Marine codes to sharp readers able to answer their
10-question quiz about the
World of Warcraft's Hallow's End event. Readers, who have to register at the site (go ahead, it's free), need to get all ten questions correctly in order to be entered in a random drawing to receive one of the codes for the murloc pet. Aside from being unbearably cute and badass at the same time, the
Starcraft-themed baby murloc which was given away at this year's BlizzCon also gets into a shootout with the
Zergling pet. Or explodes in green goo. It depends on who gets the jump.
Fortunately for you readers, there's no need for that kind of violence. Just head on over to the Escapist Magazine and answer their fairly easy quiz (insert
Headless Horseman laughter here), a multiple choice affair that doesn't have any time limit -- so it's actually kind of a giveaway. Well, a giveaway for players with a good grasp of
wowhead and wowwiki the game, as it's not exactly easy. Well, it wasn't easy for me, but I'm no expert on Azerothian Holidays (I got 9/10, so I'm out of the running). If you think you've got the chops for it, though, hop on over to the Escapist and
start the quiz!

Dang it, I got one wrong too. But it doesn't tell you which, so I dunno what it was.
Elmo Oct 28th 2009 7:13PM
I don't feel like registering to this site.

What, the Escapist Magazine? Why on earth would you have a problem with that?
supracom Oct 28th 2009 7:16PM
Your completion time IS recorded (even though there's no time limit). I got 10/10 and ranked 151st based on my time. Not sure if it'll matter in the end, but just a heads up.
I'd post the answers, but that would be extremely lame. So good luck to you all!
flawless Oct 28th 2009 7:19PM
48th so far, not sure if I can check rankins after having completed it.
Would ask that people don't post the answers - even if you're not sure, it's easy to find out.

I believe one of the answers on the quiz to be wrong. I did it twice with two e-mails. I looked up all answers and it still says I only got 9/10. Unfortunately, I don't care enough to look into it any more beyond this. Just wanted to give a heads up and good luck to all. ;)

Yes I agree. I looked up the answers to all the questions afterward and I had gotten them all right, however the test scored me 9/10.
This must mean the test is not a treat, but a "trick".
flawless Oct 28th 2009 7:56PM
All the questions have correct answers, theres no trick in there.
lifega Oct 28th 2009 7:28PM

I got 100%, but my time wasn't great because I'm at work. >.>
Arbitor Oct 28th 2009 7:42PM
Yay 100%, but 135th :(
Ahh but still, a chance at grunty is a chance at grunty.
I think I'll check my score again... hmm... hm, 141st :\
Anyway does anyone know what happens when you win, if they send you a confirmation email or message on the site confirming you are in the prize draw?
Coz all I got was a gz for getting 10/10.
Eric Oct 28th 2009 8:00PM
I managed a 7/10 and I did the entire event, twice. I fail hard.
Halaku Oct 28th 2009 7:47PM
10 out of 10 for me. :)
If I win, I'll make sure to let WoW Insider know.
K Oct 28th 2009 7:56PM
10/10 for me as well! Go go randomness!
wowwarbee Oct 28th 2009 8:00PM
9/10 - after lookin up answers to double check! Who the heck can remember the name of the orphans. Grrrrr
Qot Oct 28th 2009 11:12PM
Who can remember the names of the orphans? Well, the Candy Man can.
He can take a sunrise,
Sprinkle it with dew...
Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two
The Candy Man... Oh, the Candy Man can.
BigBadGooz Oct 28th 2009 8:15PM

Jay Oct 28th 2009 8:58PM
Sorry for not wanting to pay real money for an in-game pet.
