Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament (COMPLETED)

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Well, considering that only 15 people seem to be playing, compared to the 38 that all said they wanted in, 3 points per riddle, and maybe 2 points per song is the worst you can possibly get, so your odds of a minimum 3 points per riddle are assured, and 4 points per riddle is highly likely, so yeah, I wouldn't stress too much about the late hour of round starting.

Rofl, people posting the song in here.

Dev, you should disregard all song entries unless the user has either PMed you with the answer to the riddle, or posting on the wall of the user with the answer's profile.

Um...round one's riddle ended monday, at which point I blatantly stated that the round 1 song was Tetris Remix, and people are -supposed- to post their screenshots here.

People are not allowed to mention round 2's song, or post round 2 scores until the round 2 riddle ends wednesday at 11:59pm.

Further, you are under no obligation to correctly get the riddle in order to submit the song, nor are you -ever- supposed to post about the riddle anywhere except in private messages for me...So I'm really not sure what your rofl or your issue are about.

Also, updated.

This tournament is great! The mental challenges are excellent because more people than just the super-intelligent can deduce the correct answer, but the challenges still requires critical thinking.

Lol, you can still sign up Tass, you will only miss 5 points if you solve the round 2 riddle quickly.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

i already solved it. and, 7. 5 from round 1, 2 for getting 3 in round 2 vs 5. was simple enough. and 1 was a joke, looking at it now.

hope they get harder.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Well, the first correct response in round one came about 9 minutes after I posted. So you'd be safer to claim you lost out on 4 points in round one, and maybe 1 or 2 in round 2, total loss of maybe 5 or 6 points. I expect by the end of round three, you'll be in the top 3 at worst. *grin*

As for the difficulty of the puzzles, it is tough to strike a balance between difficulty and obscurity. I need something that -most- people could figure out over two days, but that smart and quick people can figure out within an hour or two at most.

Unfortunately, it is likely that difficulty will come through it taking longer to solve puzzles, rather than necessarily making the puzzles "harder" but I'm doing the best that I can :P

If people really like the tourney and want me to do another one, I'll have a lot more time to plan puzzles in advance of it starting.
