No! Sorry, Artoemius. I hope you'll be back in the next round for more :) There is a good chance the current prize will still be up for grabs.

OK, folks, this is it. This is the big one. It's all or nothing now, so make it count!

Final question! Go!

Rudder

Would it happen to be a airplane propeller?

Nooooooooooooooooooo!

I guess this proved to be a bit harder that I originally thought, but hey, it was a good first run after all. You guys came so darn close in the last couple of guesses, I was sure you were going to get it.



The secret for round #1 was


*** Drumroll ***

Helicopter propeller

I'll see you guys in round #2 in couple of days, where Gray Matter will still be up for grabs, but our prize pool will enlarge with one more game.

Thank to everyone who dropped by to have some fun!

So close.

Haha, my first guess was going to be propeller, but I was thinking of the style used on old airplanes rather than helicopters. Looking forward to the next round! :)

Hehe, yeah, just a bit to the side and a bit late.

I was planning on going back and giving some info on why some answers were the way they were, but Rakuru's deduction was spot on and he pretty much did what I intended to do, so no point in doing so.

With that said I believe it's only fair to declare Rakuru MVP for this round and present him with the first player token for next round if he accepts it.

Fun encryption tool! It's like I just won a giveaway or something.

That was fun indeed! And yes, Rakuru was great!

Thanks, dedoporno! Can't wait for the next round :)

Thank you, although I wouldn't want to stall the game and keep others from playing if I'm not at the computer when the next round goes up. If you'd send me a PM when you begin the next round I'd be honored to kick things off if I'm around, but please don't let me hold things up!

And thanks for the compliment, it made my day!

I was right, this has been fun.
:)

This has been really fun to watch!

Nice! Thanks for the fun exercise :-)

That was fun reading. Maybe I'll catch an opening next time :)
<(")

I'm glad you liked it. Stay tuned for the next round, which will start around the weekend :)
