SEPTEMBER 2016 - Smiley Challenge

Postby Razorvich on Sat Sep 03, 2016 9:43 am

Official Monthly Challenge for September 2016
Written by Razorvich for the Community Team and the Chatters



September (from Latin septem, "seven") was originally the seventh of ten months on the oldest known Roman calendar, with March (Latin Martius) the first month of the year until perhaps as late as 153 BC. After the calendar reform that added January and February to the beginning of the year, September became the ninth month, but retained its name. It had 29 days until the Julian reform, which added a day.

September is the ninth month and the only month with the same number of letters in its name in English as the number of the month.

The last day of September in any year always falls on a different day of the week from the last day of any other month.

The autumnal equinox in the northern hemisphere and the vernal or spring equinox in the southern hemisphere occur on dates varying from 21 September to 24 September (in UTC).

In 325 A.D Nicene council officially adopted the 'Julian Calendar' which declared that 'a year would be 365 days and 6 hours long' and March 25th being the 'New year'. Many centuries passed and at last astronomers found out the flaw in Julian calendar which exceeded the newly measured 'Solar year' by 11 minutes. This amounted over time from 325 A.D to 1582 A.D, exceeding nearly 10 days!
Pope Gregory XIII ordered a change from Julian to the Gregorian Calendar in 1582, they had to cut down 11 days! Therefore, days were cut out between 2nd and 14th September 1752.

ABOVE IS A CONFUSING NUMBER OF FACTS :evil:

Can we get an OFFICIAL explanation of what is REQUIRED to send as an answer for Smiley Code Challenge? Is it the Spreadsheet decoded OR "When you have identified correctly the Token Conditions"?

Is it what each Smiley letter is OR exact Token Conditions? OR both?

Since only one official entry will be accepted, I guess we should at least know what are the rules. This way it makes no sense.

If you 100% decode the smileys.... you will have 100% correct Token Conditions right?

Just tell us... "you should send it in a format map/spoils/reinforcements/players/..." OR "you should send it in a format what you can read from smileys"

It's not the same.

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

It was a dark, cold, winter night. Outside was raining heavily and blows of cold bone chilling air was coming in through the broken attic window, when a deceitfully charming baby voice came from outside the bedroom:
Mom, toilet paper is fiinished!

EDIT: medal is for 50 points but decoding the 4 smiley puzzles gives only 33 points, so that means you need to play at least 17 games? counting on you get the bronze token for each

I'm not sure I follow your question.

The code does not change at all. It will remain the same all month.

Actually decoding the puzzles does not award any points towards the fifty needed for a CA. The puzzle solutions can be submitted to Raz for a shot at winning a GA.

This challenge can be completed in less than seventeen games by winning a combination of token types. You are correct, seventeen bronze tokens alone will get you over the fifty point requirement if that is how you choose to complete the challenge.
