Started very very late, but hope to still submit my entry for a chance to win (of course) and certainly to mention you as mentor.

@Odili: With almost 32 hours left, It's still possible to put on a good show. It's tough if you're just starting today, but still possible if you already have an idea, with determination and caffeine as your best friends.

- And there's a bit of motivation  - Airtel's offer (1million and below) to the top three apps from Nigeria, Android Devices from Google to all Semi-Finalists and cash prizes for any all female teams (semi-finals).

@Odili & @BrowseDotCom:(mentor) Thanks!

32hrs? I thought it close 12 o'clock night?

Please clarify?

-waiting.

[Femi TAIWO]

@Wale: It closes tomorrow November the 21st at 11:59pm. Not today at 11:59pm. The date has always been November 21 on all the pages - except the count-down timer.

Earlier today, the Google engineers fixed an error with the count-down timer on the website. I understand that the error was related to the way different timezones were handled [https://plus.google.com/+RahmanOloritun/posts/VRmdnCEz1Tx] 

I guess this means you get one more day to work on your idea(s).

Regards,

Femi TAIWO

[Odili Charles]

Too bad! Could not submit even though the timer was still 1 hour+ to go.

[Femi TAIWO]

@Charles : Since the countdown is still running, try it again. You must have taken too long to submit the form.

Regards,

Femi TAIWO

http://gplus.to/dft

[Odili Charles]

Yup! Thanks. Just submitted.

[Femi TAIWO]

Great.  

If anyone is still working on his/her app and it is NOT yet ready for showtime, it better to just submit it before it closes in a few minutes..

So can we have a list of apps entered for the competition?

[Ibrahim Adams]

Hello guys!

Here's my submission: Ask Africa, a social Q and A platform for Africa.

Ask Africa is not only awesome for its focus on African questions. its even more awesome given that it creates opportunities for Africans from different countries to ask about and solve problems via awesome tools.

For example, a question is currently up on the site:

What industries will create the most opportunities around Africa in the nearest future?

Questions like this, when answered by nationals with different perspectives can help African entrepreneurs choose relevant paths to success:

Add your view to the question and tell me how you feel:

https://gcdc2013-askafrica.appspot.com/r/business/answers/12

[Abiosoft]

This is probably the simplest app submitted for the contest http://gcdc2013-unscramblefast.appspot.com.

And please the leaderboard is making me feel like the fastest typist in the world. I need more challenges.

Finally, @FemiTaiwo I already submitted the link (even before writing the app) before realizing I could put you as mentor. Apologies.

[Jojoo Imbeah]

Nice game. Almost got addicted!

Lol. Glad to hear that.

I'm already working on some powerups and thinking of a way to give the not so fast typists a kind of fair chance. Ideas are also welcomed. :-)

[Abisagbo Segun]
