Greetings, intrepid quizzers!

In case you’ve noticed, the last couple of questions seemed to have something to do with 3s. This is, of course, all part of our grand masterplan, and that was foreshadowing for something quite important (to us, and hopefully you as well :)).Before we get straight to the point, one further clue: http://www.boiledbeans.net/2007/08/13/beginnings/

And in case you still haven’t figured it out, the link is that it’s been three years since Boiledbeans started!

It’s been three years of:

1. Drama! Intrigue! Geekiness!
2. Frantic Googling/wiki-ing
3. Coding in weird features
4. Fixing bugs in those weird features
5. Replying to email
6. Scrambling to post questions

And, in short, three years of absolute fun for us. We hope you enjoyed it as well :-)

(Of course, we have something special coming up soon to mark this occasion. Watch this space. )

1. said it involved violet
2. was expecting purplish-red, vegetation-green, and an ultramarine-blue
3. famously got it right.

But what?

Three questions today (you will know why tomorrow :) )

1. Guest question from Rogi

Why are you seeing these on BB today? (See post date, not today’s date :) )

2. Guest question from p vs np. Yes, this question had to come from him :)

Identify 1. and his recent claim to fame.
Though his claim is under intense scrutiny, if proved, he shall join ranks with 2. and shall gain eternal fame in the Kingdom of Nerds.

3. “Fan” proposed icon for what?

One point per correct answer, run-length intact if you get at least one right.

P.S: We have a huge queue of guest questions in our inbox. If you sent one, please stay tuned, it will make it to the main page soon :)

This new game, for the first time uses gamers to do something. What? Identify the game also, pls.

It is beating sophisticated computer algorithms designed to do the same!

Apologies for the delay folks. Sudden burst of social life can cause time management issues.
