| Elwin Carlos That was way harder than just solving the Conundrum! Too many brain fart moments. Need to go back to primary school and learn my abc and emmenellos |
 | Matthew Brockwell This is a surprising form of mental torture - you may want to practise this but you won't like it! |
 | Maria Chandler So does the person with the most correct rounds get 5 points and then it’s a sliding scale? |
 | Chris Hare The person with the most correct rounds gets 7 points.

| Maria Chandler Sorry, Chris, I'd forgotten that. Thanks for the reminder and for organising such a fun tournament. |
Tourney round: The Twelve Games of Chris-mas: Vol. III: So, Hare it is, Merry Chris-mas: Game Three
Notes from the organizer: Game Three! Please mind the gap between the keyboard and your brain.
For Game Three, I'm giving you an Instant Conundrum Attack. The good news is that I'm not going to expect you to solve any conundrums. Hooray! The bad news is that I'd like you to unscramble the conundrum and declare the letters in alphabetical order. Boo!
The player with the most correctly-alphabetised declarations will win. In the event of a tie, the player who makes their correct declarations in the smaller total time will win. If, somehow, there's still a tie, the player with the fastest single correct declaration will win. Any further ties will result in a match-fixing investigation.
The BONUS TOURNAMENT POINT will be awarded to any player who makes no incorrectly-alphabetised declarations and at least one correctly-alphabetised declaration.
If you have any questions about the rules, scoring, or anything else pertaining to this tourney, please feel free to ask.
