To get all 3 right one should get more than 1 free download!
That's not going to happen, though this week @Hamphish did get two download codes because the Blog won last week. The single jam MJMs became too easy for everyone since PhishTracks and Phish.in' came along; plus, there's always a theme for the three jams so it's not like it's three times as difficult. If anything, it's just a shade more difficult, but importantly, it just takes a little longer to figure out. Instead of all your eggs going into finding or not finding a single jam, you have three chances to get one jam, and knowing one of the jam limits the possibilities for the other two as they're tied together by the theme.

Also, since switching to the new format, the Blog has won once (and one user got two of the jams), the users have won once before the hint, and the users have won after the hint three times. That's a much more reasonable breakdown than where the older format had gotten to, where it almost never went to the hint, and many times the MJM was solved so quickly that 90% of the users didn't even get a chance to listen to it before it was over. So while we will certainly be mixing in single jam MJMs (i.e. the classic format), we'll never give away more than one code per week (except when there's carry-over from previous weeks, or during special contests a la MJM 200).
