Hey, who wants a free iPod, without having to convince your friends to sign up in a pyramid scheme? Well, Hewlett Packard – you may know them as HP – has thrown out a free 20GB HP iPod to Gizmodo readers, and rather than trying to convince you all to share it nicely, we’ve decided to give it to just one of you. But as is becoming usual for Gizmodo contests, we’re going to make you work for it.
Details after the jump.
So this time it’s trivia! And we made it hard, we did, so the first rule is that you absolutely cannot enter unless you answer all the questions correctly. If you miss any, you’re right out, so don’t even bother sending in your submission until you have them all figured out. Also, one entry per person, please; we’ll delete any multiple entries.
If you do get all the answers correct, we’ll put your name in a hat and pick a winner on the 11th of next month. Send all entries to our Gmail account (gizmodo at), if you would. It makes it easier to keep track of the inevitable deluge.
Good luck, guys!
