Notes from the organizer: Welcome to Revolver, an on-going set of Apterous challenges for you to try as much as you like. I set a challenge once every five days, and each one runs for 20 days so four challenges run at any time. This one is conundrums-based, and the challenges rotate through letters, numbers, conundrums and a mix of all three.

You can play whichever challenges you like, as much as you like; all you need to do is sign up to one on its round page (signing up is optional but it's helpful as feedback if nothing else) and get started on it. Every challenge has an objective you need to complete, with extra points available depending on how you do it. These points then get converted into final scores as follows:

1st place: 100 points
2nd place: 80 points
3rd place: 70 points
All others: scaled between 20 and 60 points
In the event of ties points get split equally, so if two people tie for second they get 75 each.

The tournament has an overall leaderboard https://sites.google.com/site/apterousrevolver/leaderboard which is the total of all these final scores you've achieved.

So, here's the latest one, numbered C4 because it's conundrums challenge 4.

Name: DODGE

Objective: Score at least 100 in a Bullet Conundrum Attack, WITHOUT buzzing in to give any wrong answers. (So every round is either a correct answer or is left alone). Even if you get to 100 THEN get a wrong answer the game is void so be careful...

Variant/format: A Bullet Conundrum Attack in Normal OR in Goatdown Jr (it seems to be similar difficulty). If you're doing the latter it'll need to be a custom game, with 3-second rounds. In this case 7-point answers are allowed but you'll only have a second and a half to get them so good luck!

Scoring: What ever you get is score.

If you complete the challenge and want me to know about it, COMMENT ON THIS PAGE with a link to your game. If you better it, comment again and that will replace your previous game. After every few completions I'll put up a table of who's scored what.

Hopefully that's all clear, but if not let me know. Good luck everyone!
