As a promotion for the upcoming TI 84 Plus CE, TI has started a contest called "Calculate Your Color," in which you take a personality quiz to determine "which new TI 84 Plus CE hue suits you" and get entered in a drawing to win a TI 84 Plus CE.
TI posted about the contest on their Facebook page earlier today, and their website front page (http://education.ti.com/en/us/home) has been updated to promote the contest. Go check it out and maybe even win a CE!

On a side note, I got "Silver Linings" as my color.
I got Radical Red :)
Me too, though i cant enter the sweepstakes (damn mucrica <_<)
Yep I saw this earlier on Cemetech and it seems like a nice contest.
Unfortunately, however, it's only for residents of United States and the only Canadians who can participate must live in BC or Ontario. Not that I expected Quebec to be able to participate due to its overly strict and retarded contest laws (same reason why any CodeWalrus contest offering physical or money prizes will not allow Quebec residents despite two of the admins living there), but still it's kinda restrictive. >.<
I got Radical Red myself, though.
So... youre not allowed to receive post basically
Nah I can't. But the government instated restrictions to contests so that those contests won't hurt their monopoly on the quebec gambling industry. The government runs Loto-Quebec, which is Quebec's publicly-ran lottery company, and they see any form of competition as bad. As a result, when someone wins a Nintendo contest, for example, then I think Nintendo has to give Loto-Quebec a certain percentage of the prize value as a compensation. Also, language laws requires international contests to have a copy of their rules in French in order to be legal in Quebec.
Because of these restrictions, many companies single out Quebec from contests that they organize.

Same. But I'm in France and it seems that they don't like us! :/
I'm Radical Red too~
But yeah, it's kind of weird they only open the sweepstakes to BC and Ontario, but not the rest of Canada (excluding Quebec).

I have the feeling that TI-France is almost like a separate entity when it comes to companies and do their own things to a certain extent. I think they are more likely to create a France-only contest in the future.
Did you guys all chose Mars as favorite planet? I have too RR.
Yeah I said "mars" and got radical red :D would be handy if I happened to win one.
I chose Earth ???
I chose uranus :trollface: nu actually i chose saturn. Seems like there are a lot of radical reds though
I have to wonder if there isn't some catch to this contest preventing pretty much any combination except one to be eligible to win? That seems fishy.
It was a trick by pimath *.*
EDIT: i tried it out, and its possible to get other colors :P. Maybe we just share the same key things :)
It's possible, although still weird, considering some of us share different interests when it comes to school. Kinda like with the whole personality test thing where almost everyone in the TI community scored INTJ or INTP, when I and juju ended up getting something different (I got ESTJ). But sometimes some companies will organize contests that are rigged (eg causing winning to be almost impossible) or the complete opposite (GraphiTI comes to mind, where no matter how good your faceplate design was, you could still lose to the worst looking faceplate design imaginable due to the voting system being completely broken and exploitable in every way possible http://www.maxcoderz.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1128 ). In this case it could just be a bug, though, especially with TI's history of not fixing bugs.
