Well you can enter the European one too now..
This question however is ridicilous..
What is the total number of experience points gained by all European Guild Wars players from April 1st 2008 to this year’s anniversary (April 28th)?
Uh.. yeah.. nice guessing there..

Is it really a guess thing? It's not uncommon for contests to feature some easily obtained stat (to force you to read promotional stuff from the sponsers), but I had a look around the sites and I can't find it.
If we really have to guess... good god! I'll be convinced ANet are intentionally sabotaging everything they do.
Just noticed "Closest to the correct answer wins!".
Bah, I wouldn't even know how to estimate that. The number of euro players, the likely average XP per player in a month, the effect of so many of them AFKing the event... My head hurts, I think I'll pass. Too much PC junk cluttering my house anyway.

I wanted more Statues in the store, but the answer was not accepted, so I switched to clothing!!!

So yeah, entered the American contest yesterday... Not planning on winning, though any of the prizes would be awesome.

It would be nice just having the opportunity to win. Stupid Quebec laws.

Why is the American "sweepstakes" a "PROMOTION" and the European a "CONTEST"??

Promotion: something devised to publicize or advertise a product, cause, institution, etc., as a brochure, free sample, poster, television or radio commercial, or personal appearance.
Europe: Guess an answer! Possibility to loose because of misreading or distraction.
America: Randomly click around and still get a chance to win!

Too bad it won't let me send the thing....I mean it says I have to complete all things marked with a *....the problem is that it marks things I answered to, and if I answer again and press the "send" button, it will clear the thing that I just answered to and ask me to answer again.
Anet, you are too good at making bugs.

If you read the rules, you'll notice that the approx retail value is $1,799.00 and typically has to include shipping and taxes, which is most of the basic options, and is comparable to the LG specs.
The dream computer you've built is worth over $4,599.00
Snograt
Ah, I feel a little better. That's the direct link to AlienWare's weasely specs page - nothing specific for the model they're giving away.
I still stand by what I said about runner-up prizes:

Maybe because gambling is illegal in several states, so it has to be advertised as a fun thing, rather than a profit thing?
Us Europeans happily use our grandmas as collateral in poker games, so we don't care.
super strokey
Entered, thanks!
