Notes from the organizer: Game Eight! Manufactured in an environment that cannot be guaranteed nut-free.
For the second time this Chris-mas, I'm giving you twenty conundrums and asking you not to solve them, which is a symptom either of my generosity or of my lack of originality. This time, your variant is Lockdown, and you'll be seeing ten letters. One of those letters doesn't belong in the nine-letter solution; all you have to do is buzz in with that letter (and only that letter). The player with the most correctly-identified superfluous symbols will win. In the event of ties, fastest total buzzing time wins. Any further ties will be resolved at my sole discretion.
The BONUS TOURNAMENT POINT will be awarded to any player whose buzz (correct or incorrect) times all lie within a five-second range. This includes all your buzzes, not solely the ones that meet the scoring criteria.
If you have any questions about the rules, scoring, or anything else pertaining to this tourney, please feel free to ask.
