We love giving stuff away, which is why we do it so often. As you probably know, we normally tell you guys to leave a comment, like a Facebook page, retweet a message, or something similar, and then we pick a winner at random. Today, however, we're going to do something a little bit different.

We're going to play trivia.

Not Android trivia, either (that would be too easy). We're going to play "Oscar Trivia." So, how are we going to do this? With an app called HyperQuiz, which is made by the sponsor of this contest, Hyperbees.

Hyperquiz is a trivia-based game that pits you against three other live players in a race to answer to questions correctly in the least amount of time, so you have to be quick on your feet. In 'Classic' game mode, you face a wide variety of questions across a broad range of topics, which makes the game both challenging and addictive.

For this contest, however, you'll be playing in 'Contest' mode, which features all new questions that have never been used in the game before.  Remember, you're playing against real people, so answer quickly and correctly to maximize your points!

The contest is now over, and the following player has won:

  • Jacques

Congratulations, Jacques! You will be contacted shortly for your information.

The fifty runners-up will also be awarded in-game currency (Creds), so just because you didn't hit the jackpot, doesn't mean you're walking away empty-handed.

Everyone else - keep participating and stay tuned to Android Police so that you don't miss our upcoming giveaway announcements. You can follow AP on Twitter,Facebook, Google+, and RSS. Thanks for playing!

How to Play

First off, you need to know the rules, so here you go:

2. The first prize is a Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone, Places from first to fiftieth will be rewarded with HyperQuiz in-game currency, Creds.

3. 2 points will be awarded to every player for each correct answer and 1 additional point to whoever answered correctly and was the fastest. In each game, after the points for answers are tallied, the player with the highest score will get 15 bonus points, the player with the second highest score will get 10 bonus points, and the player with the third highest score will get 5 bonus points.

7. The winners are required to register with HyperQuiz with a valid email address to be able to collect their prizes.
Have fun and good luck!

You read all of that, right? If not, go do it. That stuff's important.

Okay, now that you've read the rules, you need the app. You know the drill:

Got it? Great. You're almost ready to play; but first, you need to do a couple of other things.

After you open the app, there will be an auto-generated username in the nickname field, and the "Play as Guest" box should be ticked. Go head and hit "login," after that, you're going to create a username and password (we'll need a way to contact you should you win!). Once "logged in," go ahead a tap the 'Settings' key. From there, you can create a unique nickname and password.

Make sure you sign up with a real email address! Otherwise, we won't be able to let you know if you win!

With that out of the way, you're ready to start playing. To get into contest mode, tap the right arrow and hit "Play." You should see the Android Police logo and details about the contest. Hit "Next" and you're ready to go! #Winning.

What You Get

Now that you know how to play, let's talk about the prize. The grand prize winner (read: user with the most points at the end of the 34 hour playing window) will win a shiny new Galaxy Nexus, either unlocked GSM or Verizon LTE - your choice.

I'm sure all know about the Galaxy Nexus, but here are the specs anyway:

  • 4.65-inch 1,280x720 Super AMOLED display
  • 1.2GHz OMAP processor
  • 1GB RAM
  • 32GB built-in storage
  • 5MP rear shooter
  • 1.3MP front camera
  • Android 4.0.x (stock)

If you don't win the big-daddy prize, no worries - 14 runners-up will get in-game credits (called Creds) for HyperQuiz, which can be used to access "lifelines" like on Who Wants to be a Millionaire (don't worry, these lifelines have been disabled for the contest - we like to play fair!).

The contest starts promptly at 2:00PM CST Today, February 24, 2012 and will end 34 hours later, on Saturday, February 25 at 11:59 PM CST. After that, Hyperbees will let us know who the winner is and we'll send out the notification.

This contest is available to users worldwide.

Ready? Go!

Good luck!
