Alright guys, it's time for the results! We've had some interesting answers here - and, a fair few factual mistakes, although as per previous rounds, it doesn't matter if the answer is
factually incorrect; only how popular the answer is. Indeed, in one question, more than one person gave the
same factually-incorrect answer.

Special scoring questions11. You are developing a game for a Playstation system. You want to add a cheat code that does... something awesome; what it does is not important here. The code is to be four buttons long, using only the X, Square, Triangle and Circle buttons. You may use the same button more than once.Codes:607: X, Square, Triangle, Circle
Akseli: Square, Triangle, Circle, X
ccexplore: Triangle, Square, X, Circle
geoo: Square, Triangle, X, Circle
Minim: Square, Circle, Triangle, Circle
namida: Circle, Square, X, X
NaOH: Triangle, X, Square, Circle
Ramon: X, Square, Circle, Triangle
Simon: Square, X, Triangle, Circle
Score factors:Positions where no one else has the same button (+0.5 points each):
> +0.5 to namida, for Circle in first position
> +0.5 to Minim, for Circle in second position
> +0.5 to NaOH, for Square in third position
> +0.5 to Ramon, for Triangle in fourth position
Having the same button twice in the code (-0.25 points per button per code):
> -0.25 to Minim, for two Circles (2nd and 4th)
> -0.25 to namida, for two Xs (3rd and 4th)
Having the same button three or four times in the code (-0.75 points per button per code):
>
noneHaving three of the same button in the same position as someone else's code:
> -1 each to Minim and Simon, for Square 1st + Triangle 3rd + Circle 4th
Having the exact same code as someone else:
>
noneOverall scores:Minim: -0.75
namida: +0.25
NaOH: +0.5
Ramon: +0.5
Simon: -1
