Many millions of people participated in The Dork Challenge. (Details in the post below.) They battled with clues most fiendish, questions most devious... all to win prizes most economical. A grand total of 26 people successfully completed the challenge. Of which I have chosen, using the random number generator on Google Docs, the following five winners:

Delhi Winners (Who will receive prizes on Monday at the Delhi book launch event, along with personalized hug):

1. Ashu Mittal (@ashumittal): The stupendously gorgeous Ashu is a photographer and certified expert in Lightroom and Acrobat. According to her Twitter profile.

2. Ashwin (your email starts with the word 'quizzing'): The handsome, valiant Ashwin had this to say in his prize application form: "Bastard. I know you'll pick three chicks." Ashwin as you can see, I have picked three chicks. Muahaha.

3. Sahil Rizwan (@SahilRiz): Sahil was the first to crack the quiz. He is also the author of the famed, movie review webcomic 'The Vigil Idiot'.

Non-Delhi Winners (Who will receive exactly as above. But the hug will be despatched separately.)

1. Kirtan Acharya, Mumbai, who still has not read the book. Therefore disqualified. Ok not really. Actually you have been disqualified. KIDDING. Oh but you have... No no.

2. Gomathy L, Bangalore, who is a long time Whatay reader and a Dork enthusiast. I am glad, Gomathy, to finally offer you some material reward for your ardent following.

I hope all the winners will be able to somehow cope with the staggering success that has been thrust upon them. You shall all receive individual notifications shortly.

In order to celebrate the Delhi launch of 'Dork: The Incredible Adventures of Robin 'Einstein' Varghese', I am proud to present The Dork Challenge. An online contest of such CAT-like intensity, that it will have you scratching your head with befuddlement.

Four secret, mysterious questions stand between you and a plethora of gifts.

But how to play this game? How to win fame, fortune and delectable reading material?

Clues are as follows:

3. Use Clue 1. Go there. There you will be asked another question. And you will find another code. And then you will fall back on Clue 1 again.

5. And then a form.

But even if you don't win anything, you must still come for the Delhi launch thingie. And hug me.

Details here: Facebook Event Page.

Now kindly go find the code.

P.S. Don't cheat, share codes and tell everyone how to do this. That will merely create mass panic, wholesale plagiarism and system breakdown.

P.P.S. But then the book will go viral. Please tell everyone how to crack this.
