{Return Challenge - End of the Edge}

Over the course of this game, we've seen many animals go extinct and many animals become endangered. Sadly, some have become extinct in the wild. We have them safe at the Ponderosa Zoo, but no more will they roam the prairie/sea/sky. Our conservation efforts have not been in vain, though. Today one animal is going to return to the wild. This is the resolution of the Edge of Extinction.




The rules are simple! There are three rounds, each of which has a certain number of puzzles available to it. For each round, you may attempt ONE task. The highest score on each task will advance to the next round. We will continue until only one player is left. So if everybody does the same task in Round 1, we could know the returnee immediately! Otherwise, there will always be fewer tasks than there are remaining players.

ROUND ONE

The following tasks are available. YOU MUST ATTEMPT ONE AND ONLY ONE OF THESE.

Aeria: Fill out this form, which will give you 25 anagrams to solve. You will have 10 minutes to solve as many as you can and submit the form. If you take longer than 10 minutes you aren't instantly DQed but any player who submits before the deadline will automatically beat you. The most solved anagrams wins. If there is a tie, then whoever submitted in the shortest time will advance.

Aquatica: Fill out this form to solve an Aquarium puzzle. If you do not know what an Aquarium puzzle is, then check out this website. You will need image editing software for this one. Fastest time to submit a correct answer in their confessional advances.

Terrestria: Contact a mod, who will link you to a geography-related Sporcle quiz. You will have ONE attempt to complete it. Best score wins. In the event of a tie, most time remaining on the timer will win.


ROUND TWO

The following tasks are available. YOU MUST ATTEMPT ONE AND ONLY ONE OF THESE.

Reptilia: Fill out this form to be taken to a logic puzzle. The fastest person to identify each snake and its color, origin, and length will advance to the Finale.

Mammalia: Contact a mod to do an alphabetization challenge similar to the Fine Kettle Of Fish fitness challenge. You will have three minutes to name as many things fitting the category as possible in alphabetical order. OUTSIDE RESOURCES ARE NOT ALLOWED. Whoever lists the most valid things will advance to the Finale.

THE FINALE

Animalia: This form will take you to a maze. Complete it in an image editor and post it in your confessional. The fastest time will return to the Animalia tribe.


Remember, you must do ONE Round One task, ONE Round Two task, and the Finale. You may pick which ones to do, but once you start you cannot switch.
