Honestly it didn't do much to clarify anything, I'm more confused than I was before

Hey, sorry that wasn't clear.  Here's the situation...  I had about 20 submissions and only the first 5 were able to receive Prizms (because we ran out).  So I sent a private email to ONLY those 5 to let them (you) know that the "I ran out of Prizms" didn't apply to them.  You still have one coming (in fact, I'm processing submissions right now).

But I needed to send out the response ASAP to keep people from getting ticked off about not getting a calculator; I know the calculators are a lot more popular than the software and it would be uncool to string people along.
