Well, that was a great start - I've posted it again, with a title this time, so people know it's on the go!
- Hopefully it won't be a damp squib, but here we have the grand launch of the Resyk Challenge!
Wil4 is due for the Resyk treatment at 1.30pm (unless Moly reappears) and evryone else is welcome to pitch in - but only at Wil4's request.
Answer the questions correctly, and Dredd rescues you from the hideous processing conveyor.
Get them all wrong, and you will be processed alive!
For the record, here are the rules.
1. Each question must receive an answer logged on the message board no later than five minutes after the question is posted; eg question at 13:05, answer by 13.10. Failure to do so will earn you a strike for a wrong answer.
2. Five strikes and it's munceburgers time. You will survive four, but will spend the rest of your life horribly maimed.
3. Each contestant has one lifeline - and one lifeline only. If you don't know the answer, post "Phone A Friend" and hopefully someone will help. But you still only have five minutes.
4. Each challenge will start with an easy one, end with a particularly difficult question and will include at least one quotes question and one multi-parter, where more than one answer is required. There will be five questions in total.
5. Answering one question quickly does not earn extra time for others.
6. The Challenge will be fun and fun only. Pedants criticising the questioner's lack of knowledge/ glaring errors will receive Rigelian Hotshots.
7. A league table will be drawn up - assuming we have enough candidates - based on how many correct answers contestants give and, in the case of the inevitable draw, how quickly they were posted. The grand prize will be a Pa Angel Super Scream Torture Machine (Mark I). Consolation prizes will include bottles of pizen to liven up those dull parties!
Cheers, MikeD
