If a player manages to complete the quiz and click the "e-mail" button, they are awarded with a choice of prizes. The text also mentions that the contest ends on January 31, 2000, meaning that currently, the email functionality no longer works and the awarded prizes are unknown. Given that the quiz is a browser game, though, it is likely that the prizes consisted of wallpapers and/or screensavers.
