This round is closed!

Welcome to Colors Quiz! It is a special, 8-round weekly event, in which you'll be able to learn lots of interesting stuff about Colors - things that you may not know, or simply forgot a long time ago. And what's best, you'll also be able to win tons of prizes at the same time! Don't be scared if you're new here - all the answers for our questions can be found with just a bit of motivation!

Each Sunday till 21.07 I will post a new round, containing 7 questions about a specific topic. Most of the answers aren't hard to find - the aim is not to put your knowledge to a test, but to expand it while having fun!

Round 3 been closed! The people with the maximum score so far are: Ankari, Aru, Howl, Jackals, Jane, Jex, Kuri, Lex, Manda, Nea, Ori, Ouji, Shuri & Tibby. That's 14 of you, still way more that I expected! To 'fix' this, this time the questions are harder, as promised! (If you'll be nice to me, the next two rounds will be easy again, but then round 7 will still kill EVERYBODY.)

The full results can be followed here.



The answers for the previous round were:

1. Neku's Music Station (I also accepted Costume Party and Pokeradar because for a short time those were tied. I accepted those regardless if they were actually tied at the moment you commented.)
2. Kaze
3. Mr. Mew from The World Ends With You
4. 2
5. Tari
6. 12
7. Graham Specter, Rotom, Metagross, Okabe, Tsubasa

Please contact me if you think I didn't give you the right amount of points. As for cards, I'll be awarding them in a moment.

The fourth round's topic is rules! You may need to check our info page or some other place for some of the answers, just saying!

Questions:
1. How many cards (summing all types) can you obtain from Art Studio in a single month, and how many of your cards overall would you need to pay for them?
2. How many unique signatures are required to obtain mastery?
3. What are the two differences between rewards for mastering a character deck and a special deck?
4. What would take the longest, leveling from Orange to Purple, from Daffodil to Hydrangea or from Magnolia to Mars? (We assume that you're obtaining cards at the same speed. And we only count the lower borders of the levels (for example, if you submit Yellow at 295 cards, it does NOT mean that it took you 6 cards to get from Yellow to Green).)
5. How many cards was one player allowed to take at once from the Recycled Art in August 2012?
6. What has the highest cost in Art Shop: a choice character card, a choice special card or a signature card?
7. Hypotheticly, what is the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM number of decks that a player would need to master AFTER requesting a Portfolio to finish it, not including those mastered earlier? READ THE PORTFOLIO RULES CAREFULY! - I've got some complaints about the wording, so I'll say it in a different way. If a player used all the rules which can help them finish a portfolio faster, how many decks would they need to master between requesting a Portfolio and submitting its completion? AND TO BE PERFECTLY CLEAR, NOT INCLUDING PREVIOUSLY MASTERED DECKS DOES NOT MEAN NOT INCLUDING THEM IN PORTFOLIO, IT MEANS NOT INCLUDING THEM IN THE NUMBER THAT YOU THINK IS THE CORRECT ANSWER.


Leave your answers together with your name in the comments below!
You will get 1 random card for each correct answer, so the maximum prize is 7 cards per round! As a bonus, three players with the most correct answers after the last round will receive a special bonus!
1st player - 6 choice cards, 6 random crayons
2nd player - 4 choice cards, 4 random crayons
3rd player - 2 choice cards, 2 random crayons
(in case there are over 9000 people with a perfect score tied for 1st, all of them will just get the 1st prize, while 2nd and 3rd will not be awarded)

This round will close at June 30th!

The next round's topic will be special events, so get ready!
