all aboard random facts contest!

I'm making a random facts contest here on scratch. Just post a true, random fact, or multiple. Also, the 5 winners will get one of their games advertised in show and tell. The results to the random fact contest will be right here, so post now! I want originals too. No online ones

Re: all aboard random facts contest!

The year 1582 was the shortest year on record
It was 355 days long
Also the longest year was 46 bc, it was 455 days

Oh and you'd be hard-pressed to find a fact that isn't anywhere on the Internet

Re: all aboard random facts contest!

The Things I'm Making and Creating forum is more for talking about things you are creating and exploring outside of Scratch.This thread is a bit more TBG-esque since it seems like a game where people are encouraged to post facts. Maybe you can post this thread in the TBG forums or make a project about it instead?  smile
