On Facebook I saw an ad for a survey for System Administrators, where you could win an HTC smartphone.

What I found really cool is that, to try and ensure that ONLY sysadmins do the survey, the survey is actually conducted through Telnet. Of course, Linux user here, I guessed how to start a Telnet connection to the address specified. But the gimmick was pretty cool.

Pretty much most techies and oldschool interwebs users know how to use telnet, so that's a bit flawed.

Better than nothing though! Pretty cool idea.

It would be better if you had to telnet, then fix a configuration file.
