Simply, each answer (or its key word) was a possible substitution cipher for the contest number -- three letters long, with the last two letters the same. > In case of a tie, the first tiebreaker is who scored on the hardest > questions, and the second tiebreaker is who posted first. When Dan Blum went off by one letter on the answer YKK, it created a first-place tie with Dan Tilque. But Dan Tilque got that one right, and nobody else did, whereas for each other question that only one Dan got right, one non-Dan also got it. Therefore, *DAN TILQUE wins* on the tiebreaker.

I made a list of every word that I could think of that had the pattern and gave the most likely answer. I think "err" was the only one I missed. > Thanks to everyone for playing, and now it's over to Dan Tilque for RQ 300. Hmmm, 300 also fits that pattern. Not that I'm going to repeat the theme or anything. Just saying... Anyway, I'll have something up in a day or two. I have an idea for this one. -- Dan Tilque |
