Now, the final challenge!
I have just uploaded a new crossword puzzle from the master crossword puzzle maker, PR_Princess! This one is tough! This time, it will be a timed puzzle! There is no set start time so you can start any time you want but the person who does the puzzle the quickest will win first place! Here is how it will work:
Go to the "registration" page and enter your IAP Username as well as your start date and start time. There is an official clock at the top of the page in red. Use that. Please don't try to cheat by putting in a later start time! I get all form entries e-mailed to me which will also have a time stamp and will be comparing that to the start time you claim. Of course it is possible that it could be different just a little due to the time it may take for the e-mail to be sent to me so I will use your stated start time unless it is significantly different. If it is significantly different, you entry will be tossed and disqualified, no questions asked.
You will not be able to see the puzzle until you click the get started button! Once you click that button, you will be taken to a new page with the puzzle like normal. There is a PDF file you can print out if you want. I would HIGHLY suggest you bookmark the page since if you close your browser to work on the printed version, you will not be able to get back to the puzzle without filling out the registration form again. If something happens and you forgot to bookmark the page, go ahead and fill out the form again and I will disregard the second entry. Please don't make it harder on me by depending on this, though!
Once you complete the puzzle, there is an entry form at the bottom. It only has a place for your IAP Username (I already have your address info for prize distribution), your proof of completion code, and the date and time. The same caveats apply on entering the date and time here as mentioned above. Once you fill out the form and submit, you will be re-directed to a submission confirmation page and you will be all done!
You will have at least 24 hours to complete the puzzle.
**BONUS ROUND**
Those who are not one of the 13 competing for fame and glory and 1st through 3rd place prizes are encouraged to complete the puzzle and submit your entry! Anyone who completes this puzzle faster than the First place, Second place, or Third place winners will receive a box of Central Texas wood pen blanks from me!
So, get out there and have fun!
