The contest thread can be found here: Friends 34
The contest started on August 23rd
You may use this thread for the general discussion of the contest.

// Ignore the remaining part of this thread
The concept is simple. There will be a new puzzle everyday, mostly but not necessarily related to blogging. It might be a jumbled word, a quiz question, a crossword puzzle or some other thing. And each question carries a fixed number of points. The first user to answer it correctly gets those points.
Some questions can have unlimited numbers of answers. For such questions, everyone who gives an answer will be credited with points.
The one who accumulates the maximum number of points at the end of 34 days will be declared as the winner.
Prizes:
Rs 250 gift voucher for the top scorer
Text link for a period of 30 days on A light hearted talk for the top 5 scorers
A collage (or something similar) which would contain the profile images and signatures of as many Indimembers as possible will be given to the top 5 scorers
Schedule:
'Friends 34' starts on August 9th.
Reason: update
Sorry, but the contest title is being changed to Friends 73 and it will be for 73 days instead of 100 days.
My lucky number isn't one. Here is the list of my lucky numbers:
3, 4, 7, 34, 347 (Two and three digit numbers too 
)
My blog isn't well established and the number of visitors I get is not very large. But still, I would like to try out new things in the field of blogging, marketing and event management. indiBlogger is a good platform for it. After all, the purpose of IndiBlogger is to help each other and learn new things.
And, talking about contests on my blog; I do have some plans but the budget is really huge and it can be done only when I would start earning. You can expect a contest on my blog after.... six yaers.
Hope that you would be participating then.
... And a selfish motive too: People may click on my profile to see the one organising it. :-)
Need atleast three more people to sponsor ad space (even a text link will do)
Link to your IndiBlogger profile would be inserted in the main thread of 'Friends 73'
I have changed it again and this is going to be the final. I am talking about the number 34 instead of 73. However, the starting date would be either the 23rd of this month or the 9 th of the next month.
No more changes.
And regarding helping the winner promote his/her posts, I wonder if anyone will be doing so.
The ad space sponsoring would be there if atleast 4 other blogger accept to provide it.
The virtual gift would be compulsorily given.
The number was changed to 73 to 34 as I felt that organising it for such lengthy duration might not be possible. Everyone might get bored. However, the 34 questions that would be asked will definitely appeal to everyone.
I too will promote and it is upto the participants whether they promote or not.
Yes, it was 73 earlier and not it has been changed to 34. The number represents the number of questions that the contest would contain. The numbers have no significance from the contestants point of view but they are important to me in my own way.
Hope that everything is clear. :-)
The contest would start on one of these dates: 23rd of July or 9th of August.
WOWOW!!! Indiblogger has a new forum hero, the youngest one i believe,
RANJITH
...Making his debut with a 1000 odd replies and innumerable forum threads 
Congrats! Way to go, boy 
I think that you meant youngest in terms of age as well as the time duration spent on IndiBlogger (around one month)
I had volunteered to sponsor ad space but i think it was declined. I know my blog is not popular and the blog topic is diffrerent but i just want to make sure it was not a mistake
@ Mayur It is not yet confirmed. It surely wasn't a mistake. Will add all ad space sponsorers at once into the list. And, popularity doesn't matter. If someone else would have organised a similar contest, I definitely wouldn't have sponsored the ad space. This was the actual reason: I have seen you only occassionally on the forum. (I'm new too) So, I could not undersatnd if it was a one time visit or you visit IB frequently. Please add me to your network so that further communications can be made via IndiMail. I have added you to my network. Your ad space sponsorship is accepted. :-)
Thank you DS :-)
The contest will start on 23rd and here is the contest thread.
I thought that everything would go on smoothly but many problems have come in the way. And also there is a major chnage: Instead of posting a new question everyday, a set of questions will be asked every 3-4 days.
Hope that my answer has satisfied you. You are free to demand a more lengthier explanation. :-)
A greater part of the work has been completed. Hope that the contest runs smootly. :-)
IndiBlogger considers 'Friends 34' to be important. The contest thread has been made sticky.
I am 1 day old on indinblogger , it took me quite some time to read all the replies related with the contest.
Thanks Ranjith for organizing it, would surely participate! 
Welcome to IndiBlogger and for for the assurance of your participation
Dear Ranjith,
Can we know when would the 4th set of questions be released? :
I have not got a chance to answer any of the question for which points are given only to the one person whoever answers it first. 
@ CAT Mentor Released today 8th Sep
But there are many other questions which you can answer and get much more points than what are offered for those questions which credited points only to the first answerer.
The remaining set of questions 5th 6th and 7th would be opinions and not quiz quiestions. So you can answer them at your own pace.
Thanks Ranjith!
