Just a quick reminder that Question 7 is due today if you would like to have a bonus point :)

__________________

Another reminder to say that the Science round will be closing shortly on 15 June.
Unless I have sent you a PM discussing your progress, you still need to enter nearly all the questions.
Please also let me know if you wish to use any bonus points for use in this round.

Queries about Question 8: I will be accepting any depiction of Cara that is possible.

__________________

This round is now closed.

Thank you to everyone who has participated, the poll will be up later today.

Damn this looked fun! Very well constructed quiz!

Yep, Saff's really gone to town with this one :)

Is there still going to be a poll or something for the fantastic contraption entries?

I'd quite like a spy at what other people did

Oh good point. I forgot about that one, thanks NH :)
I will organise a poll for that shortly.

__________________

I think you'll only be spying on one person if only two people have completed all the levels

__________________

4 people have completed all 21 levels :)

Because Saff scored the contraptions part, I've had to change the efficiency thing slightly.
I have an idea for a poll and I have PM'ed the winners separately so that they don't know who else has completed all 21 levels.
Hopefully the poll will be up later today/tonight. If not, then tomorrow :)

oh nice. should be interesting then.

I hope so :s

lol why the face?

and I heard about your idea for the poll... should be tough decision for people entering and people voting :o

__________________

Yeah, I wasn't entirely sure what to do. If I polled all of the designs it would take ages, and there would be lots of polls to make.
Hopefully people can choose their favourites. I know it is not an easy task, but it's the best idea I could think of that wouldn't be too time-consuming :)
