I claim contract #7. I'm surprised this movie only had one quiz. http://www.funtrivia.com/quizdetails.cfm?id=397540 New contract: Write a Photo quiz in any For Children subcategory, but all the photos need to be hand drawn. Reply #42. May 08 19, 11:55 AM |

Just three Starter Kit options left now, and why am I not at all surprised that #1 is among them :) Reply #43. May 08 19, 12:05 PM |

I would like to claim contract number 13. 7 points: Create a small crossword, diagonally symmetrical with a minimum of 80% filled squares and none of the words in the crossword contain the letter "E" http://www.funtrivia.com/crossword/play.cfm?gid=6383 Its replacement contract should be: Create a medium crossword, diagonally symmetrical with a minimum of 70% filled squares where at least 10 of the words have double letters (Bigram) within them (eg abbey, alley) No double letter combination can be used more than twice.

Are we allowed to claim contracts that we propose? I would have thought not, but would love to know for sure. Reply #45. May 08 19, 2:39 PM |

The blurb for the challenge says: "You can't claim your own contracts of course, although authors whose contracts go all too high in value are encouraged to prove that it CAN be done." Reply #46. May 08 19, 3:00 PM |

Aha, thought I'd seen that somewhere. The last claim made me think I was mistaken. Reply #47. May 08 19, 3:23 PM |

Is it too early to ask WesleyCrusher if one of those remaining three quiz contracts can be done? :) Reply #48. May 08 19, 3:24 PM |

In my defence, I thought this was a relatively easy challenge and I was surprised it went so high. Hence the prove it could be done clause was invoked. Reply #49. May 08 19, 3:30 PM |

I have one in the queue for a starter kit and I could do one of the others as well. I may have a go once the Team Challenge is done. Reply #50. May 08 19, 3:41 PM |

My understanding of the prove it can be done clause was the challenger could do it to show its not impossible but would not gain the points for it or be able to claim the contract. Wes may clarify what he meant. Reply #51. May 08 19, 3:42 PM |

Yes, that's exactly it. If your contract reaches a really high value (I was thinking at least 25 here - don't give up early), whoever placed it should consider showing everyone it can be done. They won't get the points for it of course, but at least now everyone knows they've just not tried hard enough. And I'd say none of the remaining three starters is that difficult. The 6am one should not be that hard for European or Australian race/sprint veterans, the Sci/Tech is straightforward and the theme park is mostly about actually going to one - if someone wants to quickly visit me and mind my cats for a few days, I'll have that one solved in a flash (the main obstacle is that not that many parks here allow taking a Go-Pro on the rides):) Reply #52.

Yep - TTC is the main reason I've not looked too closely at this thus far. Definitely looking for good options for Contract #10 when the time's right. Reply #53. May 08 19, 3:54 PM |

I'm another hoping to dive into this more once the Team Task Challenge is over. I did write one crossword for an early contract, but not nearly quickly enough. Save it in case it came in handy for the last week of TTC (it didn't) and will submit eventually Reply #54. May 08 19, 3:58 PM |

With regard to the Sci/Tech one: I'm essentially going by a "would this be a different course at first year university". For example, one question on organic chemistry and one on inorganic would work. You could also do one on optics and one on acoustics. Animal anatomy and Plant structure would work. Two plant questions or two animal ones would be too close. Reply #55. May 08 19, 4:04 PM |

Both the Sci/Tech one and the duel one are in my sight, but I need to get the TTC out of the way first. (Since the FT day starts at 4pm for me, using the first 6 hours to write a quiz would be simple, if those hours weren't already dedicated to other things. :) ) Reply #56. May 08 19, 5:26 PM |

I also wanted to go for the duel one but it relies on my schedule. I can bide my time... Reply #57. May 08 19, 7:45 PM |
