To help celebrate "Mobile Marketing Week", ScanLife is going to be giving away daily prizes starting today through September 9th.  All you need to do to enter is brush up on your mobile barcode knowledge.  “The QR Quest: Scan Your Way to Victory” Contest works this way:

1. Follow us on Twitter
2. Each day, a QR Code will be tweeted that links to a trivia question related to mobile barcodes
3. Just scan the code, and answer the question
4. If you are correct, tweet your conquest and you’re entered for the daily prize including gift cards from our favorite customers!

Need some help?  Here are a few key stats that might give you some hints:
