Alright, my animated eye started a train of discussion on its spookiness so an exchange with tree nymph resulted in this contest.
If this game works out well, we will have a local challenge next of KSP parents... :evil:

Rulz:
1. You can submit as many postings as possible but only the first 10 that
you submit with the right answers in it will earn the extra bonus points.
Each post will be considered as 1 entry with 10 answers.
There will be 14 answers provided.

2. Strictly no amendment allowed. Any amendment will invalidate the entry.

3. The first entry that gets all answers correct wins 100 KS points but the winner is announced only at closing.

4. If the winner's entry is his/her first entry, there will be a bonus of 20 KS points reducing by 2 points of bonus until the right answer is hit.

Example:
right answer at 1st entry ---> bonus 20 KS points
right answer at 2nd entry ---> bonus 18 KS points
:
:
right answer at 10th entry----> bonus 2 points

5. If there are no correct answers upon closing date, the 120 KS points will roll over to Challenge 2 and snowball.

6. Closing date is 10May2010 2100

I can only recognise 3 out of 10.

and after splitting by gender, that would zero down to 21,600 possible answers :!:

er .. this one too tough for me to play. :(

Tankee, if too simple, game over very fast. Also this can help you generate some posts.

I can try to remove 2 irrelevant names, will that help?
Actually I was worried that it was TOO SIMPLE!!! :lol:

:idea: hmm ... assuming less 1 male and 1 female names. That would leave 2880 combinations, enough to up almost 3 level of GM :celebrate: provided not get caught & banned for spamming. :(

:lol: :oops: :lol: :oops:


:idea: just a suggestion. instead of removing 2 names, maybe make it an interactive challenge, modelled after mastermind.

In which you periodically come in to score players' attempts, stating the
- number of matches (black) - correct match of name to eyes
- number of near-missed (white) - correct name but matched to wrong pair of eyes

without revealing which is black and which is white, just the total number of black & white for that attempt.

:wink:

Yes that was what I suggested to Big D in the words game thread while we were playing but no response from him leh... I also use the same analogy as mastermind. You game, then can start, so I leave it as 14 names.. :wink: Big D is too engrossed in word game now... :lol:
