ARG, it's the bees all over again! That's right, another alternate reality game has arrived, this time from NVIDIA to celebrate their new GPU. The puzzles honour mathematicians such as Pascal, which makes sense considering NVIDIA's recent naming conventions. Try to solve the puzzles to win some serious prizes.
With the online ARG and the Dreamhack Austin-based live Tessellation Hunt now behind us, the Order of 10 is kicking into high gear! Earlier today, we began our mission promising fans, "10 Challenges. 100 Chances to Win. One of 1,000 Prizes."
Daily prizes include limited edition Order of 10 T-shirts (50 each day) and pins (50 each day). One (1) lucky winner each day will be awarded an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition card!
Each day’s puzzle solvers are also entered to win an "Elite Game Ready PC”. Key components include: Intel Core i7-5820K processor, 2x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition GPU with new SLI HB bridge, 32GB HyperX Fury DDR4-2666 (Quad Channel) memory, a VR HMD and Windows 10 Home 64-bit operating system!
For your shot at snagging a new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founder’s Edition card, or even a complete new Elite Game Ready gaming rig, make your way to OrderOf10.com and solve your way through PASCAL’s triangle of puzzles.
ELIGIBILITY: Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of:
- 50 United States and DC
- Canada (excluding Quebec)
- Denmark
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland) …who are at least 18 years old or the age of majority in their respective states/jurisdictions of permanent residence, whichever is greater, as of May 10, 2016.
Apparently this contest
Apparently this contest requires that you link up with Facebook’s servers.
I have NoScript installed on Firefox and allowed the site but it wouldn’t recognize my registration. I checked the servers it was trying to connect to, and the only one not allowed was “facebook.net”.
Sorry Nvidia and whoever else thinks it’s a good idea to use that, uh, service, not going to happen here. I use NoScript for several reasons, and this is one of them; I don’t want to connect to Facebook’s servers, period. I realize they are aggressive enough that they probably have more info on me than the NSA anyway, and Google certainly does, but every time the word “Facebook” comes up the image of a bucket of slime appears in my head.
Same here … but for those
Same here … but for those on it I suppose they don't worry about it.

As for the general pages, I’ve added it to my whitelist as I am certain they are interested in knowing the time spent on each challenges. 🙂
They aren’t easy puzzles, but still interesting when you look up the background behind the puzzles 🙂

They are that bad. Quebec has
They are that bad. Quebec has been trying to separate from Canada for years and almost had it last time they voted for it lost by 1-5% of votes.
I’m Canadian and makes me SOOO HAPPY to see Quebec get’s excluded from stuff like this 😀
I’m Atlantic Canadian and the province I live in is THE ONLY province in Canada that is Forced Bi-lingual (english/french) because of those damn Quebecer’s. Ignorant to boot good luck getting directions if you only speak English. Took me a dozen stores before I got an answer in english when I was driving thru.
Oh the Balkens in the
Oh the Balkens in the Maple-Leaf Nation, but those French have so many thermo-nukes! Silly Englishman! I fart in your general direction, flings a live cow from a trebuchet!

The fact that you give people
The fact that you give people the answer is completely dumb and indirectly bad for yourself. By giving the answer to everyone simply decreases the chances of you winning. Since more and more players will be entering the competition with YOUR answers; the chances of the people who actually solved the answer have the same probability of chances of winning as for a person who takes answers from people like you. I kindly ask you to think before you speak or write to someone.

Some H1-B Visa Immigrants from the IIT, may take most of those wins, Lord Vishnu willing. We sure need all the world’s jucy Chess Club brains, as it’s so hard to get the born and bred types to want those STEM degrees!
Help US Mr. Spock! We are all becoming Klingons! We sure could use more Vulkan API based games, before those Ferengis in Redmond get all of our gold pressed latinum!
