There are three types of people in the world:

1) Those who haven't played Sam & Max: Season One. This group represents a very small number of people, mostly comprised of ultra-conservative Mennonites, tribal Aborigines, and those who think pocket protectors are cool.

2) Those who played at least one episode and then bought the retail version. These criteria are naturally connected, as the six-game collection of Season One marked a triumphant return of the canine shamus and hyperkinetic rabbity thing after a 13-year absence, becoming the first episodic game series successfully followed through to completion. With each episode delivering a tasty, bite-sized game serving, Sam & Max became the poster children for the "bet you can't eat just one" campaign. (Note that I'm speaking figuratively.)

3) Those who actually voted for Max for President. This is probably a surprising number of people, although exact figures are unavailable until the votes from Florida are re-counted. These are the people who own every bit of Sam & Max memorabilia.

In one week's time, a fourth group will be added to the list:

4) Three lucky winners of Sam & Max: Season One, signed by Steve Purcell! That's right, courtesy of The Adventure Company, up for grabs are three games autographed by the creator of Sam & Max himself (and if you didn't know that, you are clearly from category "1" at present). While an outstanding prize in its own right, this is especially enticing if you know someone from group "3", as you can wave it in front of their noses every chance you get (and if you think that's cruel, you are clearly from category "1" at present).

So what do you need to do to scoop such a spectacular prize? Well, other than being lucky enough to win our random draw, first you'll need to correctly answer the three nefarious questions below. (Did I just say "nefarious"? I'll never do that again.) But not to worry, you category "1" people. To help you along, all the answers you need can be found at the official Sam & Max website.

The contest will run for one full week, ending Monday, December 17th, and winners will be notified by email.

Good luck!
