FIFTH AND FINAL UPDATE


As of now, ALL EIGHTEEN entries for Challenge #7 are in.

In addition, the choices of doors remains for THREE contestants. They have been sent PMs, and in case they don't respond, I will choose a random door for them.

And, since we have all the entries in, let's go directly to...THE RESULTS MEETING!!!

[_____V_____]

BATTLE ROYALE IV - THE RESULTS OF CHALLENGE #7

I extend a warm welcome to both teams - The Zombie Titans and The Blazing Hellspawns- welcome to your SEVENTH Battle Royale Results Meeting.


First of all, here are the CORRECT answers :-

I got a variety of answers for #15 Down - "General", "Matthew", even "Vincent". The correct answer I was looking for was Hopkins, but since there are 7 letters in all of the above answers (which I failed to notice), and I somehow overlooked the fact that #15 Down was detached from the rest of the Crossword, I awarded full points to everyone who sent in all the above as answers.

And yes, #10 Down is indeed "Ancient Enemy" and not "Ancient One". I accept my mistake.

And, here I must admit, that some of you are absolute Crossword-solving maniacs.


Another point to note -

I absolutely INSISTED that ALL of you hotlink the uploaded image directly into your PM to me, so that I see the solved Crossword DIRECTLY in your PMs, but no less than FOUR Zombie Titans sent in links only.

TWO of them had valid reasons for doing so, and I accepted them. But TWO others merely sent in links to their image uploads without explaining anything, so I was to assume that either
a) they don't know about embedding image URLs, or
b) they overlooked this part of the Challenge.

And since I had already accepted two entries with valid reasons, then it would be unfair to not accept the other two, so I accepted them.

But, be warned from now on, that if you don't follow the instructions of a Challenge implicitly, I will scratch your entries next time and award you 0 points. We are moving higher into BR IV, so rules will have to be complied with strictly, folks.

I have to really commend the Blazing Hellspawns team here. ALL of them sent in their images DIRECTLY EMBEDDED into their PMs. Fantastic team effort, guys! Hats off to your team co-ordinators!

Maybe they had a genuine problem. Like I said, no way of knowing. Can't be TOO hard on people without knowing their facts.

The deadline expired about one hour and 28 minutes ago. I had said the details will be posted after the deadline expired.

So here they are...

Now, let's see what the Titans won...

(Sentinel65 chose 2 doors K & Q by mistake and will get only his first choice, K)
